Guidelines to Installing SFP, SFP+, CSFP, and XFP Transceivers
SwitchBlade x3106 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC960 Card Installation Guide
Please review the following guidelines before installing fiber optic
transceivers in AT-SBx31GS24, AT-SBx31GC40, AT-SBx31XS6, or AT-
SBx31XZ4 Line Cards:
You should install a transceiver in a line card before connecting its
network cable.
A fiber optic transceiver is dust sensitive. Always keep the
protective cover in the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not
installed, or when you store the transceiver. When you do remove
this cover, retain it for future use.
Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list
of supported transceivers for the line cards.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of
the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
The SFP, SFP+, CSFP, and XFP transceivers and AT-SP10TW
cables are hot-swappable. You may install them while the chassis
is powered on.
Unnecessary removal or insertion of transceivers can lead to
premature failures.
Warning
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Follow the
procedure in "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)" on
page 106 to guard against ESD damage when unpacking and
installing the devices.
Caution
The temperature of an operational transceiver may exceed 70 C
(158 F). Exercise caution when removing or handling a transceiver
with unprotected hands.
