SS3GR1028F Series Installation Guide Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
Step 1: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the copper cable
line card of the switch;
Step 2: Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of 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 the right port used. 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/SFP+ 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/SFP+ transceiver, and attach the
other end to the transceiver of the corresponding devices. Note: The SFP/XFP/SFP+
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
fiber transceiver. Do not stare at the fiber bore when the switch is in operation. That may
hurt your eyes.
