30 Installing PortsIf your system is running SFTOS, see the Getting Started chapter of the SFTOS Configuration Guide forother console port details, such as setting the console timeout.Installing OpticsThis section contains two subsections:• Installing SFPs on page 31• Installing XFPs on page 32The S25N and S25V each have four receptacles at the right end of their faceplates that accommodate10/100/1000 SFP optical transceivers.On the back of the switches, there are two bays that accept either stacking modules or 10GbE modules(CX4 or XFP). A 10GbE module contains two ports. 10GbE modules should only be inserted or removedwhen the switch is powered down, as detailed in Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) onpage 19 in Chapter 3, Installing the Switch.SFP and XFP transceivers can be inserted or removed while the switch is running.Force10 Networks offers various types of SFP and XFP transceivers. For details, see:http://www.force10networks.com/products/specifications.asp2 If necessary, connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the S25P system to the end of the RJ-45 cablethat will connect to your terminal.3 Verify your terminal default settings match the default settings, as listed above, on the console port:4 If you use the console port to download software to the switch, you will probably want to raise the console baudrate. Establish a connection with the default settings to verify the connection. Then use the lineconfigcommand to access the Line Config mode, and use the serial baudrate command to raise the baud rate onthe console port. (Match the settings in your terminal access program.)Caution: Before connecting a transceiver to a source, check the receive power of the transceiver with anoptical power meter. Generally, Force10 specified optics are not to be subjected to receive power higherthan that stipulated by the optic specification. If the optic is exposed to optical power in excess of thespecification, there is a high likelihood that it will be damaged.Optical specifications for Force10 branded devices are at the following URL:http://www.force10networks.com/products/mediaspecifications.aspStep Task (Continued)
