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.
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
