SFP/SFP+ Transceiver Installation

SSE-G3648B/BR switches provide forty-eight RJ45 connector slots and four SFP+ ports.
The procedure for installing an SFP+ transceiver is shown below:
1. Put on a ESD wrist strap (or antistatic gloves)
2. Insert the SFP+ transceiver to the guide rail inside the SFP+ port. Do not insert the
SFP+ transceiver upside-down.
3. Push the SFP+ transceiver along the guide rail gently until you feel the transceiver snap
into place at the bottom of the SFP+ port.
Note: the SFP+ transceiver is hot swappable.
Caution! Do not stare directly at the 2 fiber bore in the SFP transceiver when the switch is in
operation, otherwise the laser may damage your eyes.

Copper Cable/Fiber Cable Connection

Copper cables should be connected as below:
1. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the switch copper
port;
2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of other device;
3. Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lighted LED indicates that the
link has been established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be
examined.
Caution! Please verify the label above the port to ensure you are using the right port.
Connecting to wrong ports might damage the switch.
Fiber cables should be connected as described below:
1. Remove the protective plug from the SFP+ fiber transceiver bore; Remove the
protective cap from one end of the fiber cable. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
2. Attach one end of the fiber cable to the SFP+ transceiver, and attach the other end to
the transceiver of the corresponding devices.
Note: The SFP+ transceiver's TX port should be connected to the RX port of the corresponding
device, and vice versa.
3. Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has been
established; otherwise the link is not ready and should be examined.
