Note:
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need
to be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver.
Note:
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
Note:
Transceiver slots used for 10G or 40G DAC connections are described in the
section
"DAC Connections" on page
To install an SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver, do the following:
1.
Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate
transceiver type that is also compatible with the switch transceiver support.
2.
If the SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ slot is covered with a rubber protective cap, remove the
cap and keep it for later replacement.
3.
Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot
connector facing down. Note that SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers are keyed so
they can only be installed in the correct orientation.
4.
Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. If you do not
immediately connect a cable to the port, use a rubber protective cap to keep
the transceiver optics clean.
The RJ-45 management port on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to
connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
The connection requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
