Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-SBx81CFC960 Card

The AT-SBx81CFC960 Controller Fabric Card has four slots for 10Gbps
SFP+ transceivers. The transceivers can be used for high-speed links to
network servers, switches, routers, or other network devices. A list of
supported SFP+ transceivers can be found on the Allied Telesis web site.

Note

The transceiver slots on the controller card do not support
1000Mbps SFP transceivers.

Note

Do not install transceivers in the SFP+ slots on the controller card
yet if you are building a stack with the VCStack Plus feature. The
stacking transceivers should be installed after you have configured
the chassis for stacking, as explained in Chapter 15, “Building a
Stack” on page 283.

To install a 10Gbps SFP+ transceiver in a transceiver slot in the controller
card, perform the following procedure:

1. Remove the dust plug from the slot chosen for the SFP+ transceiver.

Refer to Figure 107.

Note

To protect the controller card from dust contamination, do not
remove the dust plug from a transceiver slot until you are ready to
install the transceiver.
