Installing and Removing 1G SFP Transceivers
A Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) is a compact transceiver that can operate at speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second and
is available in both copper and fiber types. Inserting a 1G SFP copper transceiver converts the 1G SFP port to a 1000BASE-T
port. Inserting a 1G SFP fiber transceiver converts the 1G SFP port to a 1000BASE-X port. Auto-negotiation is enabled by
default on the 1G SFP port into which you insert your 1G SFP transceiver. As soon as a link between the port and the
network is established, the speed and mode are matched on both ends of the cable.
This section applies to the following SDX models:
SDX 8015/8400/8600
SDX 11500/13500/14500/16500/18500/20500
SDX 11515/11520/11530/11540/11542
SDX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120
SDX 24100/24150
Important
NetScaler appliances do not support 1G SFP transceivers from vendors other than Citrix Systems. Attempting to install third-party 1G
SFP transceivers on your NetScaler appliance voids the warranty.
Insert 1G SFP transceivers into the 1G SFP ports on the front panel of the appliance. Frequent installation and removal of
transceivers shortens their life span. Follow the removal procedure carefully to avoid damaging the 1G SFP transceiver or
the appliance.
Warning
Do not install the transceivers with the cables attached. Doing so can damage the cable, the connector, or the optical interface of the
transceiver.
