Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers

188
This section contains instructions for installing SFP and SFP+ transceivers
in the ports on the switch.
Note
Refer to the product's data sheet on the Allied Telesis web site for a
list of supported transceivers.
Here are the guidelines:
Ports 25 to 28 on 28-port x930 switches and ports 49 to 52 on 52-

port switches support 1000Mbps SFP and 10Gbps SFP+
transceivers. They do not support 100Mbps SFP transceivers.
Ports 1 to 24 on the AT-x930-28GSTX Switch support 100/

1000Mbps SFP transceivers. They do not support 10Gbps SFP+
transceivers.
If you are using SFP+ ports S1 and S2 as the VCStack trunk,

review the guidelines in "Trunks of Ports S1 and S2" on page 60
before performing this procedure.
SFP and SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install

them while the switch is powered on.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements

of the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
You should install a transceiver before connecting the fiber optic

cable.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in

the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it
for future use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to

premature failure.
Warning
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an anti-static wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
devices.  E86
