Installing Port Transceivers

TheNE1032Tsupportscopperandopticaltransceivers.

Toinstallasupportedtransceiver,seethefollowingsections:

 “InstallinganSFPCopperTransceiver ”onpage 54

 “InstallinganSFPOpticalTransceiver”onpage 55

 “InstallinganSFP+OpticalTransceiver ”onpage 57

Installing an SFP Copper Transceiver

ToinstallanSFPcoppertransceiverinanSFP+portslotontheswitch,complete

the

followingsteps.

Note: ToavoiddamagetothecableortheSFPtransceiver,donotconnectthecable

beforeyouinstallthetransceiver.

1. Removethesafetycapandpullthelockingleverintothedown(unlocked)

position.

2. Insertthetransceiverintotheslotuntilitclicksintoplace.Useminimalpressure

whenyouinsertthetransceiver. Donotuseexcessiveforcewhenyouinsertthe

transceiveroryoumightdamagethetransceiverortheslot.

Note: Thetransceiverhasamechanicalguidekeytopreventyoufrominserting

thetransceiverinanincorrectorientation.

3. Pullupthelockinglevertolockthe

transceiverintoplace.

4. Connectthecablefollowingthe“CablingGuidelines”onpage 39.

ToremoveanSFPcoppertransceiver,disconnectthecable,andpulldownthe

lockinglevertoreleasethetransceiver.Afteryouremovethetransceiver,replace

thesafetycap.
