Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-ANC10S Adapters
Here are the guidelines to installing and cabling SFP+ transceivers in the 
AT-ANC10S adapters:
 SFP+ transceivers can be hot-swapped while the adapter is 
powered on. However, you should always disconnect the fiber 
optic cables first before removing a transceiver.
 You should install a transceiver in the adapter before connecting 
the fiber optic cable.
 Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in 
the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when 
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it for 
future use.
 Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to 
premature failure.
 The connector on the fiber topic cable should fit snugly into the port 
on the adapter, and the tab should lock the connector into place.
 Do not remove the dust cover from a fiber optic port until you are 
ready to connect a fiber optic cable. Dust contamination can 
adversely affect the operation of a fiber optic port.
Warning
A 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 
device.
Warning
The fiber optic ports contain a Class 1 laser device. When the ports 
are disconnected, always cover them with the provided plug. 
Exposed ports may cause skin or eye damage.  L4
Note
The cable specifications for the SFP+ transceivers are found in the 
installation guides that ship with the devices.
Note
For information about cleaning a fiber optic connector on the 
AT-ANC10S adapter, see Appendix B “Cleaning Fiber Optic 
Connectors” on page 125.
