How to install Arcserve SFP+ Module
- Power down the device only if your hardware documentation requires it; if the host supports hot-swap, you may proceed with caution while observing ESD precautions.
- Identify an available SFP+ slot on the Arcserve appliance, switch, or server that supports SFP+ modules and is compatible with this transceiver.
- Remove the filler plug or protective cover from the empty SFP+ slot and verify there are no obstructions or debris.
- Insert the Arcserve SFP+ module into the slot firmly until the latch clicks and the module is securely seated; avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
- Connect the multimode fiber optic cable to the transceiver and secure the cable to prevent undue stress on the connector; ensure proper fiber polarity and connector cleanliness.
- Power on the device (if powered down) or resume operation and verify the link status through the device’s management interface or operating system utilities.
- Test connectivity with a small data-transfer test to confirm stable throughput at 10 Gbps and monitor for any link flaps or errors; consult device logs if issues arise.
- Document the installation for asset management and future maintenance, including the slot, firmware/driver expectations, and cabling layout.
