5. Check the LED on the XFP module’s front panel to verify
that if there is a link and a proper connection at the port.
Please refer to the Switch’s user’s manual for more about
Switch or XGS3-XFP module’s management.
5. XFP Transceiver Installation
The XGS3-XFP has one vacant 10Gb fiber transceiver slot.
The procedure of installing the XFP 10Gb fiber transceiver
is as below:
Installing the XFP transceiver
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap (or antistatic gloves)
2. Insert the XFP transceiver to the guide rail inside the
XGS3-XFP module. Do not to put the XFP transceiver up-
side-down.

3. Push the XFP transceiver along the guide rail gently until
it comes into contact with the front panel of the XGS3-
XFP module.

Caution
Do not stare directly at the 2 fiber bore in the
XFP transceiver when the Switch is in operation,
otherwise the laser may hurt your eyes.
Connect the fiber cable
1. Make sure both side of the XFP transceiver are with the
same media type, for example: 10GBase-SR to 10GBase-
SR, 10GBase-LR to 10GBase-LR.
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type match the XFP trans-
ceiver model.
n
3. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into
the XFP transceiver.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches
with XFP or SFP+ installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or
a Media Converter.
5. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the XGS3-XFP module. Ensure
that the XFP transceiver is operating correctly.
