ZyXEL Communications ES-3124PWR - Manual (Page 37)

Dimension ES-3124PWR Ethernet Switch
Hardware Connections 3-3
3.1.4 Mini-GBIC Slots
These are slots for mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that houses
a transmitter and a receiver. The ES-3124PWR does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that
comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF
committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to connect to Ethernet
switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic module’s connectors.
¾ Type: SFP connection interface
¾ Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module).
1. Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
2. Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
3. The switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning
properly.
