How to install Allied Telesis AT-SPLX40 SFP Module

• Power down the host device or ensure it is in a maintenance window if strict hot-swap procedures apply to your environment.
• Locate an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router, or media converter from Allied Telesyn or a compliant vendor.
• Gently align the AT-SPLX40 with the SFP slot, ensuring that the module pins and the slot spokes are properly oriented.
• Slide the module into the slot until it seats securely with a positive click; avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
• Connect the fiber optic cable to the transceiver using the appropriate connector type; ensure connector cleanliness and correct polarity to maximize link reliability.
• Power up the device (if powered down) and verify link status via the port LEDs or management interface; in some cases, you may need to configure the port for 1G operation.
• Test basic connectivity and throughput to confirm proper operation; keep spare AT-SPLX40 modules on hand for quick replacement in case of failure.
• Handle the module with electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and store unused modules in anti-static packaging.
