Backing Up the Configuration and Upgrade Firmware Maintaining the SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V and SAN Switch 2/16N The SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V and SAN Switch 2/16N switches do not require any regular physical maintenance; they were designed to minimize the chance of failure. Ensure that the environmental conditions, described in "Technical Specifications" on page 87, are met. This helps prevent failure of the switch due to distress or abuse. Installing an SFP If your switch did not come with installed SFPs, or you are replacing older ones, follow these instructions to install your SFP: 1. Making sure that the bale (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, and place the SFP in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 19 on page 71. 2. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place and close the bale. In some cases you might need to remove an SFP transceiver, either because it is no longer needed or because you must replace it. To remove SFP transceivers: 1. Press and hold the cable release, as shown in Figure 19 on page 71. 2. Remove the cable from the transceiver. 3. Pull the bale (wire handle) to release the transceiver. 4. Grasping it by the bale, gently but firmly pull the transceiver out of the port. Caution: If the SFP you are removing does not have a bale, use a small implement such as a screwdriver to press the release trigger beneath the port. Non-baled SFPs can be damaged by the removal process and are not recommended. See "Optional Hardware Kits" on page 24 for a list of supported SFPs and devices. 5. Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports as required. 70 SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide

SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide
Maintaining the SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V and
SAN Switch 2/16N
The SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V and SAN Switch 2/16N switches do
not require any regular physical maintenance; they were designed to minimize the
chance of failure.
Ensure that the environmental conditions, described in “
Technical Specifications
on page 87, are met. This helps prevent failure of the switch due to distress or
abuse.
Installing an SFP
If your switch did not come with installed SFPs, or you are replacing older ones,
follow these instructions to install your SFP:
1.
Making sure that the bale (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, and place
the SFP in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in
Figure 19
on page 71.
2.
Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place and close the bale.
In some cases you might need to remove an SFP transceiver, either because it is no
longer needed or because you must replace it.
To remove SFP transceivers:
1.
Press and hold the cable release, as shown in
Figure 19
on page 71.
2.
Remove the cable from the transceiver.
3.
Pull the bale (wire handle) to release the transceiver.
4.
Grasping it by the bale, gently but firmly pull the transceiver out of the port.
Caution:
If the SFP you are removing does not have a bale, use a small
implement such as a screwdriver to press the release trigger beneath the port.
Non-baled SFPs can be damaged by the removal process and are not
recommended. See ±
Optional Hardware Kits
² on page 24 for a list of
supported SFPs and devices.
5.
Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports as required.
