Guidelines to Handling SFP and SFP+ Transceivers

Review the following guidelines before installing SFP or SFP+
transceivers in the switches:
The transceivers are hot-swappable. You can install them while the

switch is powered on.
For a list of supported transceivers, refer to the product data sheet

on the Allied Telesis web site.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of

the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
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.
Caution
Transceivers 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
devices.  E92
