Limitations for Some Optical Devices
Temperature Limitations
In most circumstances, the LRM/MACsec Adapter can operate at temperatures up to 45°C (113°F).
However, the maximum operating temperature is 40°C (104°F) when the adapter is used with any of
the following optical transceivers:
• 10Gb ER SMF (part no. 10309)
• 10Gb ZR SMF (part no. 10310)
• 10Gb Tunable DWDM ZR (part no. 10325)
• 1000BASE-BX-U bidirectional SFP 120 km (part no. MGBIC-BX120-U)
• 1000BASE-BX-D bidirectional SFP 120 km (part no. MGBIC-BX120-D)
You can
find a complete listing of cables and optical transceivers that are compatible with the LRM/
MACsec Adapter in the Extreme Hardware/Software Compatibility and Recommendation Matrices.
Power Limitations
When the host switch is an X590 or X690, and when both ports on the LRM/MACsec Adapter are used
with the optical transceivers listed in Temperature Limitations, ensure that you are using the USB
(micro-B) cable to supply auxiliary power. The host switch, by itself, will not provide sucient power for
the transceivers.
LRM/MACsec Adapter LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel of the LRM/MACsec Adapter have the following meanings:
Table 62: LRM/MACsec Adapter LEDs
LED Meaning
PWR Green: Normal operation. The adapter is receiving power, either from the host
switch or through the USB connector.
Amber: The adapter is receiving insucient power.
O: The adapter is not receiving power.
Link1 Steady green: The Link1 connection – from the host switch, through the adapter,
to the network – is ready.
Blinking green: Link1 is active.
O: Link1 is not ready.
Link2 Steady green: The Link2 connection – from the host switch, through the adapter,
to the network – is ready.
Blinking green: Link2 is active.
O: Link2 is not ready.
Versatile Interface Modules for ExtremeSwitching X465 Series Switches
You can install a VIM5 versatile interface module in a dedicated slot in the front panel of the
ExtremeSwitching X465 series switch to provide a dedicated high speed port. The front panel of every
X465 switch proves one slot to install the following:
• VIM5-2Q versatile interface module that provides two 40-GbE (QSFP) ports.
• VIM5-2Y versatile interface module that provides two 25-GbE (SFP28) ports.
