how to install Accortec 4Gb Fibre Channel Transceiver Module
- Prepare the system: Ensure you are working in an ESD-safe environment. If your devices support hot-swapping, you may proceed with the device powered on; otherwise, power down the host or switch per your maintenance policy.
- Ground yourself and handle with care: Use an anti-static wrist strap and avoid touching the module’s contacts or optical surfaces. Keep the connector clean and free of dust.
- Remove the existing module (if upgrading): If replacing an older transceiver, release the retention mechanism and gently pull the module out from its slot.
- Insert the Accortec transceiver: Align the module with the slot and slide it in firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the latch is secured and the module is fully seated.
- Connect the fiber cables and verify: Attach the LC duplex fiber cables to the transceiver, ensuring correct fiber type and polarity. Power on the device (if needed) and verify link status in the switch management interface or host server console. Confirm that the link lights indicate healthy connectivity and that performance metrics reflect expected throughput.
