how to install Allied Telesis SFP+ Module

• Power down the device only if required by your network policies, then locate an available SFP+ port on your Allied Telesis switch or router.
• Remove the protective cap from the SFP+ port and inspect the slot for any debris or obstruction that could prevent proper seating.
• Align the SFP+ module with the port and slide it in firmly until you hear or feel a click, indicating a secure connection. The hot-swappable design allows installation with minimal downtime on compatible hardware.
• Connect the Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable to the SFP+ module and to the corresponding SFP+ port on the other device. Ensure the connector ends are clean and fully seated for optimal signal integrity.
• Power on the device (if you powered down) and verify link status through the device’s management interface or LED indicators. Confirm 10 Gbps link activation and stable operation before proceeding with traffic.
