SFP Operation 39 If the SFP transceiver is faulty, it will not operate within the Switch. See "Solving Hardware Problems" on page 69. 3Com recommends that you only use Gigabit Ethernet SFPs supplied by 3Com. If the SFP transceiver is invalid it will not be recognized by the Switch. Inserting an SFP Transceiver Use the following sequence of steps to activate the SFP ports: SFP transceivers are hot-insertable and hot-swappable. You can remove them from and insert them into an appropriate SFP port without having to power down the Switch. 1 The SFP transceiver is keyed and there is only one way in which it can be installed correctly. It is not necessary to power-down your Switch. 2 Hold the transceiver so that the connector is toward you and the product label is visible. Ensure the wire release lever is closed (in the upright position). 3 Gently slide the transceiver into the SFP port until it clicks. If the transceiver does not click into place, remove it, turn it over and re-insert. 4 Remove the plastic protective cover if fitted.
