How to install HPE X130 10G SFP+ LC LH 80km Transceiver

Follow these steps to install the transceiver in a compatible device and establish a reliable 10G link:

1) Power down or place the network device in a maintenance window if required by policy.

2) Align the HPE X130 SFP+ module with an available SFP+ slot and insert it firmly until it clicks into place.

3) Prepare single-mode fiber cables with LC duplex connectors, ensuring TX and RX fiber ends are correctly matched to the corresponding ports on the device and the transceiver.

4) Connect the fiber links to the LC duplex ports, making sure the connections are clean and properly terminated to avoid insertion loss or reflection.

5) Power on the device and verify the transceiver is recognized by the management interface. Confirm link status, negotiated speed (10 Gbps), and lane alignment.

6) Run a basic throughput test or traffic generator to validate stable operation at 10 Gbps and ensure latency remains within acceptable margins for your application.
