Chapter 2 Installing the SN 5428 Storage Router
Installing SFP Modules
Installing SFP Modules
Before you install or remove an SFP (small form-factor pluggable) module, read
the installation information in this section. For connecting to SFP modules in the
Gigabit Ethernet ports and the Fibre Channel ports, read the instructions in the
“Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Ports” section on page 2-20.
Note Because of interoperability issues, Cisco does not support SFPs purchased from
third-party vendors. See Appendix B, “Cable and Port Pinouts” for SFP port
specifications.
Note When fiber-optic cable plugs and SFP module receptacles are disconnected from
each other, place dust covers on them.
Warning
Because invisible radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when
no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into
open apertures. To see translated versions of the warning, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety document that accompanied the device.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports use fiber-optic SFP modules with either MT-RJ
connectors (see Figure 2-5) or LC connectors (see Figure 2-6). The Fibre Channel
ports use fiber-optic SFP modules with LC connectors (see Figure 2-6). See
Table 2-1 on page 2-13 to determine what types of SFP modules you can install
in the Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel ports. See Appendix B, “Cable and Port
Pinouts” for SFP module specifications.
