DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 3/6/14 - FOR PROOF ONLY
The Optical Transceiver Diagnostics page displays the operating conditions
reported by the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver. Some
information might not be available for SFPs that do not support the digital
diagnostic monitoring standard SFF-8472.
This test can only be performed on external 10G ports.
The following GE SFP (1000Mbps) transceivers are supported:
• 1000BASE-BX-20U SFP transceiver, for single-mode fiber, 1310 nm
wavelength, supports up to 40 km.
• 1000BASE-LH SFP transceiver, for single-mode fiber, 1310 nm
wavelength, supports up to 40 km.
• 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, for single-mode fiber, 1310 nm wavelength,
supports up to 10 km.
• 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, for multimode fiber, 850 nm wavelength,
supports up to 550 m.
• 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver for category 5 copper wire, supports up to
100 m.
NOTE: For specific part numbers, consult with your Dell representative.

This page displays the following fields:
• Port—Port number and description on which the SFP is connected.
• Temperature—Temperature (Celsius) at which the SFP is operating.
• Voltage—SFP's operating voltage.
• Current—SFP's current consumption.
• Output Power—Transmitted optical power.
• Input Power—Received optical power.
• Transmitter Fault—Remote SFP reports signal loss. Values are True, False,
and No Signal (N/S).
• Loss of Signal—Local SFP reports signal loss. Values are True and False.
• Data Ready—SFP is operational. Values are True and False.
