Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver
You can install or remove a mini‐GBIC SFP from a mini‐GBIC slot without having to power off the switch. Use only
Manufacture mini‐GBIC.
NOTE:
The mini‐GBIC slots are shared with the four 10/ 100/ 1000Base‐T RJ‐45 ports. If a mini‐GBIC is installed in a
slot, the associated RJ‐45 port is disabled and cannot be used. SFP transceivers are not provided in the
switch package.
The mini‐GBIC ports operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not supported.
Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove a mini‐GBIC.
Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot
Step 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an
appropriate SFP transceiver type.
Step 2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward
and the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed
so they can only be installed in one orientation.
Step3 . Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
Connecting to Power
Make cable connections before connecting Power.
Connecting to AC Power Source
You can plug or remove an AC power cord through the AC socket
from AC power source.
Step 1. Insert the AC power cord directly into the AC socket
located at the front of the switch.
Step 2. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC power
source.
Step 3. Check the front‐panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the POWER LED is lit. If not, check that
the power cable is correctly plugged in.
Connecting to DC Power Source
Step 1. Insert the DC cable plug directly into the DC terminal
block located at the front of the switch.
Step 2. Plug the other end of the cable into an external DC
power source.
Step 3. Check the front‐panel LEDs as the device is powered on
to be sure the POWER LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.
