How to install Enet Solutions, Inc. Arista Sfp-10g-sr-a Compatible Sfp+
- Prepare the host equipment: ensure the device is powered down or in a maintenance mode if required by your environment. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge and handle the module by its edges.
- Insert the SFP+ module: slide the Enet Solutions SFP+ transceiver into the target SFP+ slot until it seats firmly with a soft click. Do not force or twist the module; ensure the notch alignment matches the slot.
- Connect the fiber cable: attach a clean LC duplex multimode fiber patch cord to the module. Use proper fiber cleaning and connector inspection practices to minimize insertion loss and reflections.
- Verify link establishment: power up the device and check the port status on the switch or router. The link LED should indicate an active connection; consult the device CLI or GUI to confirm the 10G link is up and negotiated at 10 Gbps with the correct duplex settings.
- Monitor performance: use built-in diagnostics and management tools to verify optical power levels, temperature, and other parameters. If Link Experience or DDM data shows anomalies, reseat the module or swap with a known-good transceiver to isolate the issue.
