Figure 95. Removing a Dust Cover From an SFP+ Slot in the AT-
SBx31XS6 Line Card
Note
Slots 2 and 3 share backplane connectors with slots 4 and 5 on the 
line card, respectively. If you are installing from one to four 
transceivers, Allied Telesis recommends using slots 0 to 3 so that 
each transceiver has its own dedicated backplane connector. This 
can improve network performance.
