Installing A New Copper Or Fiber-Optic Transceiver - Brocade Communications Systems ICX 6430 Hardware Installation Manual

Installing a new copper or fiber-optic transceiver

You can install a new fiber-optic transceiver in an SFP or SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running.
While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that can be inserted in the ESD connector on the ICX 6430 or ICX
6450 device.
NOTE
If the E1MG-TX SFP transceiver is inserted into the ICX 6450 device, the link may go down on the fiber ports. This is seen
during bootup or speed change from 10-Gbps to 1-Gbps port speed. The workaround is to disable the port and then re-
enable the port through the CLI, or unplug and plug in the cable.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Perform the following steps to install a fiber-optic transceiver.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act
as ground.
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
