Installing SFP+/SFP28 Modules
Note
: see the related SFP device manual for important Safety warnings. See the Lantronix
line of SFP transceivers. See the
for additional information. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc.is an
international non-profit educational association chartered to promote professionalism in fiber optics through
education, certification and standards.
Note
: The SFP+/SFP28 ports should use UL Listed Optional Transceiver
products, Rated 3.3Vdc, Laser Class 1.
Before you begin installing SFP+/SFP28 modules, observe these guidelines:
•
Do not remove the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The
plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
•
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting
cables to the switch and other devices.
Caution
: Removing and installing an SFP+/SFP28 module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert
any SFP module more often than is absolutely necessary.
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC SFP+/SFP28 module from an SFP+ or SFP28 port without having to
power off the switch.
1. Insert the module into the SFP+/SFP28 port.
2. Press firmly to ensure that the module seats into the connector.
