NOTE
The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
Installing an SFP+ transceiver
To monitor the transceivers, the showmedia command output shows the transceiver information
for all interfaces on the switch. Third party transceivers are allowed. Brocade will provide support
for such a system but may require that a Brocade transceiver be used for troubleshooting.
Support will not be provided if there is an issue with the third party transceiver.
Complete the following steps to install an SFP+ transceiver.
1. Remove any protector plugs from the transceivers and the ports.
2. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the SFP+ transceiver
in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 13 .
3. Slide the SFP+ transceiver into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.
NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated edge connector on the bottom. The correct
position to insert an SFP+ transceiver in the upper row of ports is with the gold-plated edge down.
The correct position to insert an SFP+ transceiver in the lower row of ports is with the gold-plated
edge up.
