Removing An Sfp/10G Transceiver; Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables To Sfp/10G Ports - Enterasys B5G124-24 Hardware Installation Manual

Removing an SFP/10G Transceiver

Caution: Do NOT remove the SFP/10G from the port slot without releasing it. The SFP/10G is
released by pulling down on its wire handle. Attempting to remove the SFP/10G without releasing it
can damage the SFP/10G.
The SFP/10G and its host switch are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and
observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could result in damaging the
SFP/10G or host switch. Always leave the SFP/10G in the antistatic bag or an equivalent antistatic
container when not installed.
Precaución: NO quite el SFP/10G de la ranura sin antes abrir la traba ubicada en la parte frontal
del SFP/10G. Si lo hace, puede dañar el SFP/10G, puesto que es muy sensible a las descargas de
electricidad estática, al igual que el dispositivo host. Utilice la pulsera antiestática y tome todas las
precauciones necesarias durante este procedimiento. Si no lo hace, pude dañar el SFP/10G o el
dispositivo host. Mientras no esté instalado, mantenga el SFP/10G en su bolsa antiestática o en
cualquier otro recipiente antiestático.
To remove a transceiver from a
follows:
1. With an antistatic wrist strap attached to your wrist, remove the cables connected to the
transceiver.
2. Release the transceiver using its wire handle. Specific operation and location of the handle will
vary depending on transceiver type.
3. Grasp the sides of the transceiver and pull it straight out of the port slot.
If storing or shipping an SFP/10G, which has a fiber‐optic connector, insert its protective dust
cover to protect the ends of the fiber‐optic fibers from dust or contamination.

Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to SFP/10G Ports

Before connecting cables to SFP/10G ports, you must install the appropriate transceiver as
described in "Installing an Optional SFP/10G Transceiver" on page 2‐27. This section describes
how to connect a 1‐ or 10‐Gigabit fiber‐optic segment from the network or other devices to an SFP
or 10G port connector (LC or MT‐RJ).
Each fiber‐optic link consists of two fiber‐optic strands within the cable for Transmit (TX) and
Receive (RX). The transmit strand from a device port connects to the receive port of a fiber‐optic 1‐
/10‐ Gigabit Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable
LC or MT‐RJ port connects to the transmit port of the fiber‐optic 1‐/10‐ Gigabit Ethernet device.
Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact
with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data
transmissions. If the ends of the fiber-optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to
blow the surfaces clean. A fiber-port cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol
may also be used to clean the ends.
Precaución: No toque los extremos de los cables de fibra óptica y evite su contacto con el polvo,
la suciedad o con cualquier otro contaminante. Si los extremos de los cables se ensucian, es
posible que la transmisión de datos se vea afectada. Si nota que losextremos de los cables de
fibra óptica se ensucian, utilice aire comprimido paralimpiarlos. También puede limpiarlos con un
estropajo embebido en alcohol isopropílico.
