Stratix 8000 and 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches

Install an SFP Module

You can use any combination of compatible SFP modules:

• Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of the cable. The cable must not exceed the stipulated cable

length for reliable communications.

• Once you install SFP modules in the switch, be aware that the overall temperature rating of the combined modules (switch and SFP

modules) is limited to the lowest maximum temperature rating and the highest minimum temperature rating.

To install an SFP module into an SFP slot, follow these steps.

1. Attach an ESD-preventive wriststrap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.

2. Grasp both sides of the SFP module and align the module sideways in front of the slot opening.

3. Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot.

Install the CompactFlash Card

The switches ship with the CompactFlash card installed. When you need to install the card, grasp the tab on the card and insert it into the slot at the

bottom of the switch.

ATTENTION: Use SFP modules from only Rockwell Automation. For details about supported modules, see the Stratix Ethernet Device Specifications

Technical Data, publication

1783-TD001.

ATTENTION: If the SFP module cannot be fully inserted, stop! Do not force the module into the slot. Rotate the SFP module 180° and try again.

IMPORTANT You can install and remove the CompactFlash card while the switch is powered. However, if you do not have a CompactFlash card installed in the switch, you

are unable to do the following:

• Start the Device Manager web interface when you apply power to the switch.

• Save configuration changes you made with the AOP via software.

• Start up the switch.
