14 Sun Dual 10GbE XFP PCI Express Card User’s Guide • January 2009
Adapter in slot-2 of a Sun Fire T2000 system. The SATA cables from the adjacent
card slot prevent the proper installation of an Sun x8 Express Dual 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Fiber XFP Low Profile Adapter in this slot. (Note that this issue does not
exist for Sun Fire T2000 that is RoHS compliant.)
Caution – Do not install the Sun x8 Express Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP
Low Profile Adapter in slot-5 of a Sun Fire X4600 system because the heatsink on the
adapter will sit against the daughter card of the Sun Fire X4600 system.
Note – When you install the adaper, ensure that the optical transceiver has not been
installed. The optical transceiver must be installed into the adapter when it is in
place.
