To install the extended range transponders with SFP optics, follow these steps:
Take the desired transceiver from the shipping container.
Install the SFP by inserting it into the extended reach transponder. Push the SFP
until it is securely set in the module.
Insert the extended reach transponder module carefully into the motherboard slot
while guiding the upper and lower edges of the module in the tracks until its
connectors come into contact with the backplane connectors. You hear a click
when it is connected.
Push the latch on the module down to secure the module in place.
Attach the appropriate cables.
There are two types of SFP optics that can be installed in the extended reach
transponder modules. The connectors on the SFP optics are:
•
MT-RJ connector
LC connector
•
The MT-RJ connector is typically used for lower rate connections (ESCON and
OC-3). The LC connector is typically used for higher rate connections (Gigabit
Ethernet and Fibre Channel). Each connector requires a different method of
removal.
Use the show hardware command to see what transceiver you have currently
installed in your module.
You need the cable installation and removal tool to remove the SFP with the
MT-RJ connector.
