SFP Transceivers
You can connect the Sun StorageTek 2540 Array to either copper host interface cables
or fiber optic host interface cables. If you use fiber-optic cables, you must install an
SFP transceiver in each interface port on the controller where a fiber-optic cable is to
be installed. The SFP transceiver is required to translate the optical signals from the
fiber-optic cable into digital signals for the controller.
Note ā The SFP transceiver shown might look different from those that are shipped
with your controller tray. The difference does not affect transceiver performance.
