5 The optical XFP 10-Gigabit module requires additional XFP transceiver inserts, which are not
included in this kit (see the installation instructions that come with the transceiver). The ports in the
copper CX4 module do not require inserts.
If you are installing a CX4 module, and you are connecting the ports with a cable substantially
shorter or longer than 5m, use the cx4-cable-length command to set the signal strength. Use
cx4-cable-length long for a longer cable, cx4-cable-length short for a shorter cable. See the
System Management Commands chapter in the SFTOS Command Reference for details.
Note: Take care not to connect CX4 ports to 12G stack ports in the S50N, S50V, and S25P. Their
receptacles and cables are the same, but they are incompatible. CX4 ports are labeled as such;
stack ports are not labeled. You can order several cable lengths of each type; they are not part of
this kit.
For details on enabling ports, see the Quick Reference for your system, its installation guide, or
the SFTOS Configuration Guide.
Installation Notes: If there is a failure in a module, it must be replaced. They are not
field-serviceable.
