How to install 10GBASE-LR XFP Transceiver for Brocade - 10G-XFP-LR - TAA Compliant
- Power down the device: Before handling the transceiver, power down the Brocade switch or router and disconnect from the power source to avoid static or electrical damage.
- Open the transceiver slot: Locate the appropriate XFP slot and release the retention mechanism according to your device’s service manual. Carefully remove any existing module if present, handling it by the edges to avoid contact with optical or electrical components.
- Inspect and prepare the slot: Check the slot for debris and ensure the connector contacts are clean. Avoid touching the optical surfaces or LC connectors. Hold the new XFP by its edges to prevent contamination.
- Insert the XFP transceiver: Align the module with the slot and slide it in firmly until it seats. Do not force the module; if it does not seat, remove and reinsert with a gentle, even push until the retention latch engages.
- Connect fiber and power on: Attach the single-mode fiber using the LC duplex connectors, ensuring correct polarity and a secure connection. Re-apply power to the device and monitor the interface via the management console or CLI to confirm the transceiver is recognized and the link status is active.
- Verify link and throughput: Run basic link tests or a throughput check to confirm the transceiver operates at 10 Gbps and maintains stable latency, with optical power levels within expected ranges as reported by the device’s diagnostics.
