Release Tab
Table 10 on page 39 lists the direct attach cables for the base ports and
XEM2 Line Cards. They offer an economical way to add 10Gbps, 40Gbps,
or 100Gbps connections over short distances. To install direct attach
cables, perform the following procedure:
1. Select a port for the direct attach cable.
2. If the selected port has a dust cover, remove the cover.
3. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
4. Orient the transceiver and slide it into the port until it clicks into place.
The correct orientation depends on the cable:
