Guidelines to Installing SFP, SFP+, CSFP, and XFP Transceivers
Please review the following guidelines before installing fiber optic 
transceivers in the AT-SBx31GS24, AT-SBx31GC40, AT-SBx31XS6, and 
AT-SBx31XZ4 Line Cards:
You should install a transceiver in a line card before connecting its 
network cable.
A fiber optic transceiver is dust sensitive. Always keep the 
protective cover in the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not 
installed, or when you store the transceiver. When you do remove 
this cover, retain it for future use.
Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list 
of supported transceivers for the line cards.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of 
the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the 
devices.
The SFP, SFP+, CSFP, and XFP transceivers and AT-SP10TW 
cables are hot-swappable. You may install them while the chassis 
is powered on.
Unnecessary removal or insertion of transceivers can lead to 
premature failures.
Warning
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Follow the 
procedure in “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)” on 
page 94 t
o guard against ESD damage when unpacking and 
installing the devices.
Caution
The temperature of an operational transceiver may exceed 70 C 
(158 F). Exercise caution when removing or handling a transceiver 
with unprotected hands.
