Installing SFP Transceivers
General guidelines for installing SFP transceivers are:
 SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install them while the switch is powered
on.
 Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list of supported
transceivers for the units.
 The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of the transceivers are
provided in the documents included with the devices.
 You should install a transceiver before connecting the fiber optic cable.
 Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in the optical bores
when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when you store the transceiver. When you
do remove the plug, keep it for future use.
 Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to premature failure.
 The SFP cages on the switch use an internal heat sink that requires an additional amount
of force to remove and install an SFP module.
To install an SFP transceiver:
1. Remove the dust plug from a transceiver slot on the switch.
