Installing an XFP Transceiver

The XFP slots support the following XFP transceivers:

• 10GBASE-SR

• 10GBASE-LR

• 10GBASE-ER

To install an XFP transceiver, do the following:

1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate

XFP transceiver type.

2. Insert the transceiver with the connector facing outward and the slot

connector facing down. Note that XFP transceivers are keyed so they

can only be installed in one orientation.

3. Slide the XFP transceiver into the slot until it snaps into place.

Note: XFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to

be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver.

However, always first disconnect the network cable before

removing a transceiver.

Note: XFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
