In this section:
Ribbon-provided SFP modules must be used to guarantee proper operation of the external ports. Failure to follow this recommendation may cause permanent damage to the system.
The SBC 5400 supports the following Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers in all Media and HA ports. SFPs are Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs).
These numbers are taken from Vendor Datasheets as well as IEEE 802.3ae for the 1G parts.
Optionally, Pkt0 and Pkt1 (Media 0 and Media2) can be used as 10Gb ports, with the remaining MEDIA ports empty. The parts for the 10Gb SFPs are:
These numbers are taken from Vendor Datasheets as well as IEEE 802.3ae for the 10G parts.
To replace SFPs, use the procedures from the section Replacing the SFP.
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, an ESD strap is provided in the accessory kit. Refer to Connecting ESD Wrist Strap to install it.
Perform the following procedure to replace the SFP:
Disconnect the fiber optic and/or Cat 5 cables, as appropriate, from media ports (Pkt0/1/2/3) and HA ports (HA 0-1).
Disengage the SFP transceiver from SBC 5400. The method used to disengage the SFP transceiver will vary according to the manufacturer. For example, hold the wire latch and move it downwards to the horizontal position and pull it outwards, as shown below.
Insert the Ribbon-approved SFP transceiver into the desired socket and ensure that the latch mechanism engages.
All SBC 5400 CRUs are shipped in electrostatic discharge bags and should be handled using appropriate ESD precautions.
The storage environment for these CRUs are:
The ESD Susceptibility symbol warns of the presence of Ribbon devices susceptible to electrostatic discharge. Do not handle equipment without wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist strap.
