Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver

The AT-FS750/48 Fast Ethernet Smart switch has two SFP uplink ports.

To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:

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.

Note

You must install the transceiver before you connect cables to it.

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 plug from the SFP slot, as shown in Figure 11.

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.
