Types of SFP and SFP+ module latches
I/O modules using SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules
SFP transceiver modules can have three types of latching devices to secure the SFP or
SFP+ transceiver in a port socket.
SFP or SFP+ transceiver with a Mylar tab latch.
◆
SFP or SFP+ transceiver with an actuator button latch.
◆
SFP or SFP + transceiver that has a bale-clasp latch.
◆
In the Block and File VNX7500 platform, the SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules are located
in the ports of the following I/O modules:
Four-port 8-Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) for 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s speed
◆
Two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical
◆
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical (labeled 10 GbE iSCSI or 10 GbE v2)
◆
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical
◆
Two-port 10-Gb/s Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

IMPORTANT
Ensure that you correctly match the SFP or SFP+ module type with the I/O module type.
1. The 10 Gb/s module (labeled 10 GbE v3) can also use active twinaxial (Twinax) cables. Twinax is a
type of cable similar to coax, but with two inner conductors instead of one. These cables will be
supplied in lieu of SFPs when so ordered.
2. The FCoE I/O module can also use active twinaxial (Twinax) cables. Twinax is a type of cable
similar to coax, but with two inner conductors instead of one. These cables will be supplied in lieu
of SFPs when so ordered.
