1 SFP+ transceivers SFP+ transceivers The SAN I/O Module is designed to work exclusively with Brocade-branded small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical transceivers. The SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable, thus allowing for connection to external devices without removing the SAN I/O Module from the Dell M1000e Blade Server Enclosure. For information on inserting or removing SFP+ transceivers, refer to "Removing and replacing SAN I/O Modules" on page 37. SFP+ transceivers provide optical connections to external devices for both short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL) connections. You can replace SFP+ transceivers with a new pluggable SFP+ transceiver rather than replacing the SAN I/O Module. The SAN I/O Module is shipped with 16 Gbps Brocade-branded transceivers. • Base model-Ships with two pre-installed SFP+ transceivers. Six additional SFP+ transceivers can be installed. • Full model-Ships with four pre-installed SFP+ transceivers. Four additional SFP+ transceivers can be installed. • ENT model-Ships fully loaded with eight pre-installed SFP+ transceivers. NOTE You can also insert pre-qualified 8 Gbps SFP+ transceivers in the SAN I/O Module. For a list of supported SFP+ transceivers on the SAN I/O Module, refer to Table 3 on page 15.
