Chapter 1: Overview
SFP+ Slots
24
The switches have four SFP+ slots that support the following types of SFP
1000Mbps and SFP+ 10Gbps transceivers:
1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceivers
Single-port BiDi 1000Base-LX SFP transceivers
1000Base-ZX SFP transceivers
10Gbps, 10GBase-SR/LR fiber optic transceivers
10Gbps AT-SP10TW direct connect twinax cables with SFP+
transceiver-style connectors
You may use the transceivers to connect switches to other network
devices over large distances, build high-speed backbone networks
between network devices, or connect high-speed devices, such as
servers, to your network.
The switches support a variety of short and long distance SFP and SFP+
modules. For a list of supported SFP modules, contact your Allied Telesis
representative or visit our web site.
Note
SFP+ slots 27 and 28 on the AT-x510-28GTX Switch and slots 51
and 52 on the AT-x510-52GTX Switch are initially configured as
stacking slots for the VCStack feature. If you intend to use the switch
as a stand-alone unit, you must disable the VCStack feature before
you can use them with standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers. The
configuration instructions are provided later in this guide, in
"Powering On the Switches Simultaneously" on page 83.
