Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-SBx81XS6 Line Card

Please review the information in “Guidelines to Installing SFP and SFP+
Transceivers” on page 129
before performing this procedure.

To install 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers in the AT-SBx81XS6 Line Card,
perform the following procedure:

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

Figure 88 shows the dust plug removed from slot 1.

SBx81XS6 Line Card

Note

Do not remove the dust plug from the SFP+ slot if you are not
installing the transceiver at this time. The dust plug protects the line
card from dust contamination.

2. Orient the SFP+ transceiver with the handle on top, as shown in Figure

89 on page 135.
