Installing and Removing SFP+ Optical Transceiver
Modules
This section describes how to install and remove SFP+ optical transceiver modules to and
from the SFP+ cages on the universal HBA. You might need to perform these procedures
if you want to replace the PCI bracket on the universal HBA (see
Bracket" on page
25), or if you want to change the configuration of the universal
HBA (see
"Universal HBA Features and Specifications" on page 11
and Changing the Current Operating Protocol Mode" on page
changes, you can install the hardware into the system, as described in
HBA" on page
29.

To Install an SFP+ Optical Transceiver Module
To change the configuration of the universal HBA, the first step is to connect an SFP+ optical
transceiver module to one of the SFP+ cages of the universal HBA. The functionality of the
universal HBA changes, based on the optical transceiver module that you install and based on
your manual configuration(described in a later chapter). The supported transciever modules
follow:
16 Gb FC SFP+ SW Optic Modules, QLogic (Oracle part number: 7101676) – Enables 16
■
Gb FC HBA functionality.
10 GbE FCoE SR XCVR Modules, QLogic (Oracle part number: 7101678) – Enables 10
■
GbE FCoE Converged Network Adapter functionality.
Sun Storage 16 Gb FC SFP+ LW Optic Modules, QLogic (Oracle part number: 7101680)
■
– Enables 16 Gb FC HBA functionality.
Only supported transceiver modules are allowed. If invalid or unapproved transceivers
Note -
are installed and the board is booted, unpredictable performance results could occur, and the
board will no longer be supported until you replace the invalid transcievers with the supported
transceivers.
Follow these guidelines whenever you install or remove an SFP+ module:
Do not remove the dust plugs from the modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
■
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and
cables from contamination and ambient light.
