2.4.5 Cable Installation

All cables can be inserted or removed with the unit powered on. To insert a cable, press the con-
nector into the port receptacle until the connector is firmly seated. The GREEN LED indicator,
above each SFP+ port, will light when the physical connection is established (that is, when the unit
is powered on and a cable is plugged into the port with the other end of the connector plugged into
a functioning port). After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching mechanism
particular to the cable vendor. When a logical connection is made the yellow light will come on.
When data is being transferred the yellow light will blink.

To remove, disengage the locks and slowly pull the connector away from the port receptacle. Both
LED indicators will turn off when the cable is unseated.

Cable lengths should be used which allow for routing horizontally around to the side of the chassis
before bending upward or downward in the rack.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT and reference to the most recent laser
standards:

IEC 60825-1:2007/03 y EN 60825-1:2007

Always install and remove cables by pushing or pulling the cable and
connector in a straight line with the pass through module.

Cables, especially long copper cables, can weigh a substantial amount.
Make sure that the weight of the cable is supported on its own and not
hanging from the pass through module.
