4.5 Installing an Optional SFP+ Transceiver
You can install or remove a SFP+ modules from an SFP+ slot without powering off the switch. Use only compatible SFP+ modules.
WARNING: Your eyes might be harmed! The SFP+ modules are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the
beam coming from the transmit port.
NOTES:
1. The SFP+ ports operate only at full duplex. Half-duplex operation is not supported.
2. Make sure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove an SFP+ module.
CAUTION: Use only supported SFP+ modules with your switch. Other products might not be compatible and could cause the
switch to malfunction.
