Caution: NetScaler appliances do not support XFP/10G SFP+ transceivers

provided by vendors other than Citrix Systems. Attempting to install third-party
XFP/10G SFP+ transceivers on your NetScaler appliance voids the warranty.

Insert the XFP/10G SFP+ transceivers into the XFP/10G SFP+ ports on the front panel of
the appliance. Frequent installation and removal of transceivers shortens their life
span. Follow the removal procedure carefully to avoid damaging the transceiver or the
appliance.

Caution: Do not install the transceivers with the cables attached. Doing so can

damage the cable, the connector, or the optical interface of the transceiver.

1. Remove the XFP/10G SFP+ transceiver carefully from its box.

Danger: Do not look directly into fiber optic transceivers and cables. They

emit laser beams that can damage your eyes.

2. Align the XFP/10G SFP+ transceiver to the front of the XFP/10G SFP+ transceiver

port on the front panel of the appliance.

3. Hold the XFP/10G SFP+ transceiver between your thumb and index finger and

insert it into the XFP/10G SFP+ transceiver port, pressing it in until you hear the
transceiver snap into place.

4. Move the locking hinge to the DOWN position as shown in the following figure.
