Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-VNC10S Adapter
Here are the guidelines to installing and cabling SFP+ transceivers in the
AT-VNC10S adapter:
 SFP+ transceivers can be hot-swapped while the adapter is powered
on. However, you should always disconnect the fiber optic cables first
before removing a transceiver.
 You should install the transceiver before connecting the fiber optic
cable.
 Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in the
optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when you
store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future
use.
 Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
 The connector on the fiber topic cable should fit snugly into the port on
the adapter, and the tab should lock the connector into place.
 Do not remove the dust cover from a fiber optic port until you are ready
to connect a fiber optic cable. Dust contamination can adversely affect
the operation of a fiber optic port.
Warning
A transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.
Warning
The fiber optic ports contain a Class 1 laser device. When the ports
are disconnected, always cover them with the provided plug.
Exposed ports may cause skin or eye damage.  L4
Note
The cable specifications for the SFP+ transceivers are found in the
installation guides that ship with the devices.
Note
For information about cleaning a fiber optic connector on the
AT-VNC10S adapter, see Appendix B “Cleaning Fiber Optic
Connectors” on page 173.
