Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver
The AT-GS950/8 switch has two SFP uplink ports on the front of the
switch.
To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:
Note
You must install the SFP transceiver before you connect cables to it.
Note
The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off
the switch to install a transceiver. However, always remove the
cables before removing the transceiver.
1. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
Warning
An SFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
transceiver.
2. Remove the dust plugs from the SFP slots, as shown in Figure 13.

3. Locate the label on the transceiver and turn it so that the label is on top
and the alignment groove is on the bottom.
