Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers
This section contains guidelines and procedures for installing SFP and
SFP+ transceivers. The installation procedures are listed here:
“Installing SFP Modules in the AT-x510-28GSX Switch” on page 63
“Installing SFP and SFP+ Modules” on page 66
Here are general installation guidelines for SFP and SFP+ transceivers:
SFP and SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install
them while the chassis 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.
A transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.
SFP+ slots 27 and 28 on the 28-port switches and slots 51 and 52
on the 52-port switches 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 the
slots with standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers. For instructions, refer
to Chapter 5, “Powering On the Switch” on page 69.
