This section contains guidelines and procedures for installing SFP and
SFP+ transceivers. The procedures are listed here:
"SFP Installation Guidelines"
"SFP Installation" on page 55
Here are general installation guidelines for SFP and SFP+ transceivers:
SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install them while
the chassis is powered on.
Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list
of supported transceivers for the units.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements
of the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
You should install a transceiver before connecting the fiber optic
cable.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in
the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it
for future use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
Warning
An SFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
transceiver.
