Notes on inserting/removing pluggable transceivers

Use only approved SFP+ transceivers
If you use SFP+ transceivers that are not approved for SIMATIC NET devices or their
target systems, Siemens cannot accept any responsibility as to whether the Ethernet
Switch system will function according to the specifications. Siemens can also not guarantee
the compatibility and risk-free use of these components.
Use only approved SFP+ transceivers.
Note
Fixed slots for SFP+ transceivers
The SFP+ transceivers are not suitable for media modules.
SCALANCE XR526-8C has two fixed slots for SFP+ pluggable transceivers.
SCALANCE XR528-6M and SCALANCE XR552-12M have four fixed slots for SFP+
pluggable transceivers.
It is, however, possible to operate SFP transceivers in the fixed SFP+ slots of the device.
Note that the SFP+ slots only support SFP transceivers with a transmission rate of 1000
Mbps.
Note
The media module MM992-4SFP and the SFP+ slots may only be fitted with approved SFP
or SFP+ transceivers. The SFP media module can be fitted with up to four SFPs.
Note
Plugging and pulling during operation
You can plug and pull pluggable transceivers during operation. If you have questions on the
use of SIMATIC NET products, please contact your Siemens sales partner.
