NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that
it is correctly oriented. Do not insert any unsupported cable that is intended for another type of transceiver
into a regular SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
Installing an SFP-DD Transceiver
SFP double density (SFP-DD) transceivers are delivered with two dust caps. When inserting cables, remove one dust cap
and insert the cable, leaving the other dust cap in place. Then remove the other dust cap and insert the next cable. If you
are using only one cable in the transceiver, keep the other dust cap in place to keep the transceiver clean.
Note that SFP-DD transceivers are not shipped with the Brocade 7850 Extension Switch. You must purchase the SFP-DD
transceivers separately, if needed.
Perform the following steps to insert an SFP-DD transceiver and then insert the cables.
