Installing SFPs (OS6600-U24)
OmniSwitch 6600-U24 switches support up to 24 (twenty-four) 100 Mbps Small Form Pluggable (SFP)
modules. These SFPs are packaged separately and therefore are not factory-installed. You can install the
SFP(s) by following the steps below:
Anti-Static Warning. Before handling any components, free yourself of static by wearing a grounding
strap, or by grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the SFP, as well as the switch and
uplink module.
1 Align the transceiver with the transceiver slot on the OS6600-U24 as shown.
Inserting the SFP
Note. The SFP should slide in easily. Do not force the SFP into the slot. Otherwise you can damage the
connectors. If any resistance is encountered, ensure the SFP is aligned and oriented properly, as shown in
the diagram above.
2 Holding the SFP by its sides, carefully slide it into the desired SFP slot (ports 1–24) until it clicks into
place; this is an indication that the connectors are firmly seated.
