Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-SBx81CFC960 Card
The AT-SBx81CFC960 Controller Fabric Card has four slots for 10Gbps
SFP+ transceivers. The transceivers can be used for high-speed links to
network servers, switches, routers, or other network devices. A list of
supported SFP+ transceivers can be found on the Allied Telesis web site.
The transceiver slots on the controller card do not support
1000Mbps SFP transceivers.
Do not install transceivers in the SFP+ slots on the controller card
yet if you are building a stack with the VCStack Plus feature. The
stacking transceivers should be installed after you have configured
the chassis for stacking, as explained in Chapter 15, “Building a
Stack” on page 283.
To install a 10Gbps SFP+ transceiver in a transceiver slot in the controller
card, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the dust plug from the slot chosen for the SFP+ transceiver.
Refer to Figure 107.
Figure 107. Removing a Dust Cover from an SFP+ Slot in the AT-
SBx81CFC960 Controller Fabric Card
To protect the controller card from dust contamination, do not
remove the dust plug from a transceiver slot until you are ready to
install the transceiver.
