How to install StarTech.com HPE JD094B-BX40-D Compatible SFP+ Module

• Power down or ensure your device supports hot-swapping, and verify that your switch or router is powered.
• Insert the SFP+ module firmly into the available SFP+ slot until it seats with a gentle click; do not force the module.
• Connect the single-mode fiber pair using LC connectors. Align the transmitter and receiver ends correctly, and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radii to preserve signal integrity.
• Power on the device (if it was powered down) and verify link status on the corresponding port. The link LED on the switch should indicate an active connection when the remote end is reachable.
• Configure the port for 10GBASE-BX BiDi operation if required by your network gear. In most cases, auto-negotiation will establish the correct speed and duplex settings.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is this module compatible with HPE JD094B-BX40-D switches?
  A: Yes. The StarTech.com SFP+ module is designed to be compatible with HPE JD094B-BX40-D and other SFP+-capable devices, providing reliable 10GbE BiDi SMF connectivity.
• Q: What is BiDi, and how does it benefit my fiber infrastructure?
  A: BiDi stands for Bidirectional. A BiDi transceiver uses two wavelengths on a single fiber pair to send and receive data, reducing the number of fibers needed and simplifying fiber management while delivering full 10 Gbps performance over SMF.
• Q: What type of fiber and connector does it require?
  A: The module is designed for Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) with LC duplex connectors, aligning with typical enterprise SMF deployments and enabling longer-distance links.
• Q: Can I mix BiDi SFP+ modules with non-BiDi transceivers on the same link?
  A: It is generally not recommended to mix BiDi and non-BiDi transceivers on a single link, as this can cause link incompatibilities. Use BiDi modules with other BiDi-compatible devices or ensure your network path supports BiDi operation.
• Q: Does the module require special software or drivers?
  A: No special drivers are typically required beyond standard switch configurations. Most modern switches provide automatic detection and configuration for SFP+ BiDi modules once inserted and connected.
• Q: Is the module hot-swappable?
  A: Yes. Like other SFP+ modules, this StarTech.com module is hot-swappable, allowing you to replace or upgrade components without powering down the entire system, subject to your device’s hot-swappable capabilities.
