Chapter 2: Installing the Switch

Installing Optional Transceivers
Review the following guidelines before installing an optional GBIC, SFP or
XFP transceiver in the switch:
A transceiver can be hot-swapped. The switch can be powered on
when you install a transceiver.
Install the transceiver before connecting its network cable.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable is
not installed, or when you store the transceiver, always keep the plug
in the optical bores. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future
use.
Unnecessary removal or insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
The SFP and GBIC slots on some AT-9400 Switches are paired with
twisted pair ports. For operational information, refer to “Redundant
Twisted Pair Ports” on page 30.
Warning
A 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
device.
Installing a GBIC
Transceiver
To install a GBIC transceiver in the AT-9424T/GB Switch, perform the
following procedure:
1. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
2. Slide the GBIC transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place, as
shown in Figure 20. A GBIC transceiver can be installed in either slot.
