SAN48B-5 Installation, Service, and User Guide
page 20 shows the installation of a 16 Gbps SFP+, and Figure 9 on page 21 shows
the installation of an 8 Gbps SFP+ with a wire bail latching mechanism.
Installing 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers
Note: Each SFP+ has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The
correct position to insert an SFP+ into the upper row of ports is with the
gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP+ into the lower row
of ports is with the gold edge up.
Complete the following steps to install 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers and cables.
1. Ensure that both cable and transceiver are clean prior to installation.
2. Remove any protector plugs from the 16 Gbps SFP+ transceiver and the cable.
3. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is
aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver
until the latching mechanism clicks.
Attention: Take care not to bend the SFP+ pull tab. Do not insert a cable
intended for an mSFP transceiver into a regular SFP+ transceiver. You may
damage the cable.
4. Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct
orientation. Insert the cable/transceiver into the port, using the pull tab to help
push the transceiver into the port. If it does not slide in easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented.

Installing 8 Gbps SFP+ transceivers with wire bails
1. Ensure that both cable and transceiver are clean prior to installation.
2. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the 8
Gbps SFP+ in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 9
on page 21.
3. Slide the SFP+ into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.
