Note
SFP+ transceiver modules are sold separately.
The following procedures describe how to install a SFP+ transceiver module into
one of the SFP+ ports of the switch.
CAUTION
Disconnect all cables from the SFP+ transceiver before installing or removing it
from the SFP+ port.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage to the module, wear a properly-grounded antistatic wrist
strap while handling the module.
1. Holding the SFP+ module by its sides, identify the top side of the SFP+
module.
2. Align the module with the port.
3. Insert the module securely into the SFP port until it clicks into place in the
rear of the slot.
Use minimal pressure when inserting the transceiver to avoid damage.
To remove the SFP+ module, disconnect the cable from the module and gently
but firmly pull it out of the port.
The switch is intended to operate with both power supplies connected to separate
AC power circuits to provide power load sharing and redundancy. However, if a
power supply fails the switch continues to operate normally.
CAUTION
If a power supply fails, replace it immediately to maintain power redundancy.
You can remove and replace a power supply without removing power from the
switch.
To remove and replace a power supply, follow these steps:
