Installing an XFP 37
Installing an XFP
Install an XFP to provide a 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface between the switch
and other network devices.
Installing an XFP takes about three minutes.
WARNING
Risk of eye injury by laser
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can
injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port.
Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light
source.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Nortel recommends that you install only one 10GBASE-ZR/ZW
per module due to cooling limitations on the 8683XLR and
8683XZR modules. Nortel further recommends the installation of
the XFP only in port 1. You can install a 10GBASE-SR, -LR/LW, or
-ER/EW in one or both of the remaining ports.
Prerequisites
•
Verify that the XFP is the correct model for your network configuration.
Procedure steps
Step Action
1
Remove the XFP from its protective packaging.
2
Grasp the XFP between your thumb and forefinger.
3
Insert the XFP into the XFP slot on the module.
Apply a light pressure to the XFP until the device clicks and locks
into position in the module.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
XFPs are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If the XFP
resists pressure, do not force it; turn it over, and reinsert it.
