Installation guide

The switch has 2 10Gb fiber transceiver slots. The procedure for installing the XFP 10Gb fiber
transceiver is shown below:
Step 1: Put on an ESD wrist strap (or antistatic gloves)
Step 2: Insert the XFP transceiver to the guide rail inside the 10Gb line card. Do not to put the XFP
transceiver up-side-down.
Step 3: Push the XFP transceiver along the guide rail gently until it comes into contact with the front
panel of the 10Gb line card.
Note: The XFP 10Gb transceiver is hot swappable.
Caution
Do not look at the 2 fiber bore in the XFP transceiver when the switch is in operation, otherwise
the laser may hurt your eyes.
2.3.5 Copper Cable/Fiber Cable Connection
Copper cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the switch copper cable
line card;
Step 2: Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of some other device;
Step 3: Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lighted LED indicates that the link
has been established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be examined.
Caution
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the right port. Connecting to wrong ports
might damage the switch.
Fiber cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: remove the protective plug from the SFP/XFP fiber transceiver bore; Remove the protective
cap from one end of the fiber cable. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
Step 2: Attach one end of the fiber cable to the SFP/XFP transceiver, and attach the other end to the
transceiver of the corresponding devices. Note: The SFP/XFP transceiver’s TX port should
be connected to the RX port of the corresponding device, and vice versa.
Step 3: Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has been
established; otherwise the link is not ready and should be examined.
Caution
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the other ports. Connecting to wrong ports
might damage the transceiver or the other ports. When connecting other devices through a fiber
cable to the switch, the output power of the fiber cable must not exceed the maximum received
power of the corresponding modules. Otherwise, it will damage the switch. Do not stare at the
fiber bore when the switch is in operation. That may hurt your eyes.
