Installing SFP Transceivers
General guidelines for installing SFP transceivers are:
SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install them while the switch is powered
on.
Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list of supported
transceivers for the units.
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.
The SFP cages on the switch use an internal heat sink that requires an additional amount
of force to remove and install an SFP module.
To install an SFP transceiver:
1. Remove the dust plug from a transceiver slot on the switch.
