Installing a Switch

3-5

The switch supports a variety of SFP and XPAK transceivers. To install a 
transceiver, insert the transceiver into the port, and then gently press until it snaps 
in place. To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to 
release the tension, pull the release tab or lever, and then remove the transceiver. 
Different transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult 
the documentation for your transceiver.

                                                                                           

 If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating 

temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient 
temperature. Be sure to install the chassis in an environment that is 
compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. For operating 
temperature information, refer to 

.

 Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16cm (6.5in) minimum clearance at 

the front and rear of the switch (surface mount) or rack for service 
access and ventilation.

 Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may 

overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Consider the 
power source capacity and the total power usage of all switches on the 
circuit. For power specifications, refer to 

.

 Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the switch 

chassis to the AC power source.

The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under 
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

To maintain sufficient air flow and prevent the switch from overheating, keep 
covers installed in unused XPAK ports.
