Preparing to Install an Optional SFP/10G Transceiver

Before removing the pluggable transceiver from the antistatic packaging, Enterasys Networks
recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap (not supplied) to prevent damage from static
discharge. To use the wrist strap, refer to the instructions provided with your antistatic wrist
strap.
1. Remove the pluggable transceiver from its packaging.
2. If there is a protective dust cover in the pluggable transceiver connector, do not remove it at
this time.

Installing an Optional SFP/10G Transceiver

Note: Each combo SFP port in use eliminates the availability of one RJ45 port. In other words, only
24 or 48 ports can be active at any given time on B5 switches equipped with a combination of RJ45
and SFP interfaces.
When an SFP transceiver in SFP port 23 establishes a link, RJ45 port 23 is disabled. When an SFP
transceiver in SFP port 24 establishes a link, RJ45 port 24 is disabled.
This section describes how to install an SFP or 10G optical transceiver into the following B5 ports:
Transceiver Type
SFP
10G
Warning: Fiber-optic SFP/10Gs use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical instruments to view the
laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.
Advertencia: Los SFP/10Gs de fibra optica usan lasers de clase 1. No se debe usar instrumentos
opticos para ver la potencia laser. El uso de los instrumentos opticos para ver la potencia laser
incrementa el riesgo a los ojos. Cuando vean el puerto de la potencia optica, la corriente debe ser
removida del adaptador de la red.
Warnhinweis: SFP/10Gs mit Fiber-Optik Technologie benutzen Laser der Klasse 1. Benutzen sie
keinesfalls optische Hilfsmittel, um die Funktion des Lasers zu überprüfen. Solche Hilfsmittel
erhöhen die Gefahr von Sehschäden. Wenn sie den optischen Port überprüfen möchten stellen Sie
sicher, dass die Komponente von der Spannungsversorgung getrennt ist.
