Install the SFP+ Transceivers

The Sun Dual 10GbE SFP+ PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapter requires one small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) optical transceiver in at least one port to create an Ethernet connection. The optical transceivers are available from Sun Microsystems. Check the Sun Dual 10GbE SFP+ PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapter product web page for available transceivers.

1. Pull the locking handle into the full horizontal position until you feel the handle click into position.

   
   

2. Holding the optical transceiver by the edges, align the transceiver with the slot in the adapter and slide the transceiver into the opening.

3. Applying even pressure at both corners of the transceiver, push the transceiver until it is firmly seated in the slot.

4. Lift the locking handle up and push the handle closed to lock the optical transceiver in place.

   Note - If you pull the locking handle down when the optical transceiver module is installed, you must remove the module entirely and reinstall it. Pulling the handle down can disconnect the optical transceiver module, even though it might appear to be connected.
