Maintaining the DS-300B
The DS-300B does not require any regular physical maintenance; it
was designed to minimize the chance of failure.
Ensure that the environmental conditions, described in
“Environmental considerations” on page 23 are met. This helps
prevent failure of the switch due to distress or abuse.
Installing an SFP
The DS-300B only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an
unqualified SFP, the switchShow command output will show the
port in an Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS will also log the issue in the
system error log.
Follow these instructions to install an SFP:
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked
position, place the SFP in the correctly oriented position on the
port, as shown in Figure 4 on page 46.
2. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place; then
close the bail.
Note: Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom.
The correct position to insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with the
gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP into the lower row of
ports is with the gold edge up.
