CAUTION:
DO NOT bend the LC (optical) cable beyond the cable's minimum bend radius,
data transmission degradation may occur. Follow cable manufacturer's
guidelines for bend radius limitation.
WARNING:
DO NOT look directly into the open end of an active LC (optical) cable or optical
SFP module (with plugs removed)! Serious eye damage can occur from direct
exposure to the infrared light!
NOTES:
PBP Module is NOT hot-swappable! Remove ALL power to chassis before
removing and installing the PBP Module. Refer to the InfoStation Installation
Guide for further information.
SFP Module is hot-swappable. The chassis may remain on when removing and
installing the SFP Module.
HSSDC2 (copper) SFP Modules support 1Gbps operation only.
LC (optical) SFP Modules support both 2Gbps and 1Gbps operation.
Auto Loopback is enabled when there are no SFP Modules installed in the open
Host ports.
An additional PBP Module is available as an upgrade. Contact StorCase for
further ordering information.
