To remove a 1G SFP transceiver
1. Disconnect the cable from the 1G SFP transceiver. If you are using a fiber optic cable, replace
the dust cap on the cable before putting it away.
Danger: Do not look directly into fiber optic transceivers or cables. They emit laser beams that
can damage your eyes.
2. Unlock the 1G SFP transceiver.
3. Hold the 1G SFP transceiver between your thumb and index finger and slowly pull it out of the
port.
4. If you are removing a fiber 1G SFP transceiver, replace the dust cap before putting it away.
5. Put the 1G SFP transceiver into its original box or another appropriate container.
Install and Remove 10G SFP+ Transceivers
May 23, 2019
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.
Note
Some SD-WAN 4100/5100 appliances do not require SFP+ transceivers.
A 10-Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) is a compact optical transceiver that can operate at
speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second. Autonegotiation is enabled by default on the 10G SFP+ ports
into which you insert your 10G SFP+ transceiver. When a link between the port and the network is
established, the mode is matched on both ends of the cable and for 10G SFP+ transceivers, the speed
is also autonegotiated.
Insert the 10G SFP+ transceivers into the 10G SFP+ ports on the front panel of the appliance. Frequent
installation and removal of transceivers shortens their life span. Follow the removal procedure care-
fully to avoid damaging the transceiver or the appliance.
Important
SD-WAN 4100/5100 appliances do not support 10G SFP+ transceivers provided by vendors other
than Citrix Systems. Attempting to install third-party 10G SFP+ transceivers on your SD-WAN
4100/5100 appliance voids the warranty.
To install a 10G SFP+ transceiver
1. Remove the 10G SFP+ transceiver carefully from its box.
