4. Installing SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Module

4-1 Install the SFP/SFP+ Mini-GBIC Transceiver Module

Please follow these steps to install the SFP/SFP+ Mini-GBIC module:

1. Power on the Switch and place the Switch on a flat surface. Install the new SFP/SFP+ Mini-GBIC module by inserting it into the slot and sliding it in until it stops (See Figure 1). Press it firmly until you hear the module snap into place. Never force, twist or bend the SFP/SFP+ Mini-GBIC module. The SFP/SFP+ Mini-GBIC module slides in smoothly and the Switch will automatically detect the new module.

Figure 1: Insert the SFP/SFP+ Mini-GBIC Module

1. After the TP/Fiber connection is made successfully, check the LEDs to verify that if there is a link and a proper connection at the port.

Please refer to the user's manual for more about the Switch or module's management.

4-2 Install the 10GBASE-LR/SR XFP Fiber Optic Module MTB-XSR/MTB-XLR

The 10GBASE-LR/SR Fiber Optic module can be installed into Planet products with 10G XFP interface.

Please refer to the following steps to install the 10GBASE-LR/SR Fiber Optic module:

1. Install the XGS3-M24GX or XGS3-S4XG module into the XGS3-42000R; its 10G XFP slot supports hot swappable feature.

2. Power on the XGS3-42000R L3 Switch and place the Switch on a flat surface. Install the new 10GBASE-LR/SR Fiber Optic module by inserting it into the slot and sliding it in until it stops (See Figure 2). Press it firmly until you hear the module snap into place. Never force, twist or bend the 10GBASE-LR/SR Fiber Optic module. The 10GBASE-LR/SR Fiber Optic module slides in smoothly and the XGS3-42000R L3 Switch will automatically detect the new module.

Figure 2: Insert the 10GBASE-LR/SR Fiber Optic Module

1. After the 10GBASE-LR/SR Fiber connection is made successfully, check the LNK/ACT LED 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 module's management.

4-3 Remove the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Module

1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with the network administrator.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the handle of the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver module to the horizontal level.
4. Pull out the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver module gently through the handle.

Never pull out the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver module without pulling the handle or the push bolts on the module. Directly pulling out the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver module would damage the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver module of the device.
