Installing and Removing an SFP+ Optical Transceiver
The EX2500 switch supports the following Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus
(SFP+) transceivers:
SFP+ 10GBase-SR Short Range Optical Fiber Transceiver
SFP+ 10GBase-LR Long Range Optical Fiber Transceiver
The EX2500 switch accepts only approved SFP+ transceivers. The SFP+ optical
transceiver provides two fiber-optic cable connectors for connecting to external
ports.
Perform the following steps to install an SFP+ optical transceiver in an SFP+ port
on the EX2500 switch and connect the cable:
1. Remove the safety cap and pull the locking lever into the down (unlocked)
position.
2. Insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place. Use minimal
pressure when you insert the transceiver into the port.
Do not use excessive force when you insert the transceiver; you can damage
the transceiver or the SFP+ port. The transceiver has a mechanical guide key
to prevent you from inserting the transceiver incorrectly.
WARNING: Class 1 Laser Product
Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic
cables.
Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a transceiver emit
laser light that can damage your eyes.
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or
removing a cable.
The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser
light.
Always inspect and clean the LC connector end faces before making any
connectio
ns.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the cable or the SFP+ transceiver, do not connect
the fiber-optic cable before you install the transceiver.
