SFP+ Module Handling Instructions
The following shows instructions for handling an SFP+ module.
โ About Condensation
โข When moving an SFP+ module from a cold place, such as an unconditioned
store house in winter, to a warmer place such as an air-conditioned room, the
severe temperature change may result in condensation forming.
To avoid this, allow the packed SFP+ modules sufficient time in the warmer
place (one hour for each 15ยฐC of temperature difference) to adapt to the new
temperature.
โ About Static Electricity
โข When handling SFP+ modules, wear a wrist strap or touch a metal part to
discharge the human body's natural static electricity. Failure to discharge
static electricity may cause failure in the ETERNUS DX.
โข Leave the SFP+ module in its package until ready to install it.
โ About Shock
โข Do not handle the SFP+ module roughly or subject it to physical shocks when
laying it down.
โข Do not place any objects on top of SFP+ modules.
โข Do not knock or drop the SFP+ module on hard objects.
This section uses an iSCSI 10Gbit/s host interface (CA) as an example to show the connection procedure.
1 Install an SFP+ module in the host interface port.
This procedure is required only when an SFP+ module must be installed.
Note
Step 1 is not required if the host interface (CA) is iSCSI 10Gbit/s (10GBASE-T).
