OMPATIBILITY
SFPs are “hot-pluggable” into the switch, which allows host computers, servers, and storage devices to 
be added dynamically without requiring power removal from the switch or any connected devices.
The switch supports Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules that comply with the SFP 
specification as produced by the MSA consortium and have passed Emulex’s qualification testing. 
The following manufacturers of 1-2Gb optical, shortwave SFPs are recommended:
Finisar
JDS  Uniphase
Contact a customer service representative to request the certified part numbers for these vendors.
Installing an SFP
If the Change Notification on Insertion policy is enabled, plugging an SFP into the switch will 
automatically send an F7 Initialization notification to indicate the device is ready to begin initialization.
To insert an SFP:
1.
Remove dust covers or plugs from the SFPs, if provided.
2.
Slide the SFP into the port, ensuring correct polarity, until the latch clicks into place.
Removing an SFP
To extract an SFP:
Determine what kind of extraction mechanism the SFP has and remove the SFP as follows:
If the SFP has a removal tag,
 remove the cable from the SFP and then pull the removal tag outward 
and toward the side of the SFP with the tag.
If the SFP has a small plastic slider
 
on the top or bottom
, remove the cable from the SFP and then push in 
the slider and hold while pulling out the SFP.
If the SFP has a bale (small metal clasp), remove the cable from the SFP and then unlatch, pivot, 
and pull the bale.
Attaching a Device to the Switch
To attach a device:
1.
Make sure that the device is FC-AL compatible.
2.
Attach a cable to the device.
3.
Attach the other end of the cable to an SFP.
4.
Make sure that the device and switch are operational and set to the same speed.
Caution: Forcing an SFP into a port may damage the SFP and/or port.
