Note

When VCStack is enabled on the switch, slots S1/27 and S2/28 are
reserved as stacking ports and may not be used for regular SFP or
SFP+ transceivers.

2. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the

packaging material in a safe location.

3. If you are installing the transceiver in a top slot, position the transceiver

with the Allied Telesis label facing up. If you are installing the
transceiver in a bottom slot, position the transceiver with the label
facing down.
