Installing an XFP Transceiver
The AT-10408XP 10-Gigabit Ethernet Switch has eight XFP ports.
Note
The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off
the switch to install a transceiver. However, always remove the
cables before removing the transceiver.
Note
You must install the transceiver before you connect cables to it.
To install an XFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
Warning
An XFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
transceiver.
2. Remove the dust plug from the XFP slot, as shown in Figure 12.
