Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-SBx31XS6 Line Card
Please review the information in “Guidelines to Installing SFP, SFP+,
CSFP, and XFP Transceivers” on page 145 before performing this
procedure.
To install 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers in the AT-SBx31XS6 Line Card,
perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the dust plug from the slot chosen for the SFP+ transceiver,
as shown in Figure 96.

SBx31XS6 Line Card
Note
Slots 2 and 3 share backplane connectors with slots 4 and 5 on the
line card, respectively. If you are installing from one to four
transceivers, Allied Telesis recommends using slots 0 to 3 so that
each transceiver has its own dedicated backplane connector. This
can improve network performance.
Note
Do not remove a dust plug from an SFP+ slot if you are not installing
a transceiver. A dust plug protects the line card from dust
contamination.
