How to install StarTech.com HPE JD094B-BX60-U Compatible SFP+ Module

• Prepare the system: Confirm that your host device supports hot-swapping for SFP+ modules and that the corresponding uplink port is configured for 10GBASE-BX BiDi operation.
• Insert the transceiver: Align the module with the SFP+ slot in the switch or router and gently push until it seats securely with a click. Do not force-fit; if it doesn’t seat, remove and reinsert.
• Attach the fiber cable: Connect the LC duplex fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s LC connectors. For BiDi, ensure proper orientation and that Tx/Rx alignment matches the corresponding device side. Use a single-fiber BiDi patch if required by your network design.
• Power up and verify: Power on the device or verify that the port accepts hot-swaps. Check the link status LEDs on the switch/router, and use the management interface to confirm a link is established at 10G.
• Run validation tests: Perform basic connectivity tests and throughput checks to confirm the link is stable. Validate that the correct wavelengths are active and that there are no error counters on the transceiver or the monitored port.
