Installing
and
removing
options
The
GbE
switch
module
supports
the
10
Gigabit
small-form-factor
pluggable
(XFP)
module
and
the
small-form-factor
pluggable
(SFP)
module.
The
XFP
module
is
a
laser
product
that
is
used
to
convert
electrical
signals
to
optical
signals.
The
SFP
module
provides
an
RJ-45
port
for
external
connections.
The
GbE
switch
module
ships
with
the
SFP
module
installed.
For
additional
information
about
the
location
of
the
GbE
switch
module,
the
network
interface
requirements,
and
expansion
options,
see
the
documentation
for
your
BladeCenter
unit.
Handling
an
XFP
or
SFP
module
Before
installing
an
XFP
or
SFP
module,
read
the
following
information:
v
The
module
housing
of
the
XFP
and
SFP
has
an
integral
guide
key
that
is
designed
to
prevent
you
from
inserting
the
modules
incorrectly.
v
Use
minimal
pressure
when
you
insert
the
modules
into
the
ports.
Forcing
the
modules
into
the
ports
can
cause
damage
to
the
module
or
the
module
port.
v
You
can
insert
or
remove
the
modules
while
the
BladeCenter
is
turned-on.
v
You
must
first
insert
the
modules
into
the
ports
before
you
can
connect
the
cables.
v
You
must
remove
the
cables
from
the
modules
before
removing
the
modules
from
the
GbE
switch
module.
