Cisco 10-Gigabit X2 Transceiver ModuleInstallation Note

Release Date: August 23, 2007

Text Part Number: 78-18326-01

This document provides installation instructions for the 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel and Ethernet X2transceiver modules listed in Table 1 . The X2 transceiver is a hot-swappable input/output (I/O) devicethat plugs into a 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel port. The X2 transceiver links the switch to a fiber-opticnetwork.

The Ethernet X2 transceiver enables high-performance FC connectivity to an existing Ethernet DWDMtransponder. The data format transmitted by DS-X2-E10G-SR onto the fiber is identical to thattransmitted by DS-X2-FC10G-SR, except that the Fibre Channel packets are clocked at 10GE rate. Thisallows Fibre Channel packets to be carried over an existing DWDM infrastructure. The Cisco MDS 900010-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module will automatically detect Fibre Channel or Ethernettransceivers -- no software configuration is required.

Note The dual SC connector on the X2 transceiver supports network interface cables with either PhysicalContact (PC) or Ultra-Physical Contact (UPC) polished face types. The dual SC connector on the X2transceiver does not support network interface cables with an Angle-Polished Connector (APC) facetype.

Installing the 10-Gigabit X2 Transceiver Module

Installing the 10-Gigabit X2 Transceiver ModuleThe 10-Gigabit X2 transceiver module can have either a spring-loaded latch sleeve or a latch sleeve thatis not spring loaded. Both transceiver types are functionally identical.

Note This installation procedure applies to both the spring loaded and non-spring loaded X2 transceivers.

Caution The X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individualgrounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with system modules.

Note Before you install the transceiver module, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for theCisco 9000 Family for important safety information.

To install an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use a small flat-blade screwdriver, to carefully pry the X2 transceiver port cover off of the systemmodule faceplate.

Use the two arrows on the port cover as guides for inserting the screwdriver blade. Save the port coverfor future use.

Step 2 Remove the X2 transceiver from its protective packaging.

Note Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.

Step 3 Check the label on the X2 transceiver body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.

Step 4 Follow these steps to install the X2 transceiver:

a. Insert the X2 transceiver into the transceiver socket on the system module front panel. (See Figure 2 ,top view.) Continue sliding the X2 transceiver into the socket until the X2 transceiver EMI gasket isflush against the system module faceplate. The X2 transceiver connector is now mated to the socketconnector.

b. Verify that the X2 transceiver latches are fully engaged and secure by sl iding the transceiver latchingsleeve toward the system module faceplate. (See Figure 2 , bottom view.)

Caution If the latches are not fully engaged, you may accidently disconnect the X2 transceiver.

Note 10-Gigabit X2 transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Step 5 If you are cabling an optical X2 transceiver, follow these substeps. If you are cabling a copper CX4 X2transceiver, go to step 6.

Note Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, observe the following guidelines:

Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and thetransceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.

Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections.

Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.

Tip For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white paper atthis URL:

a. Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugsfor future use.

b. Inspect and clean the SC connectors fiber-optic end-faces.

c. Remove the dust plugs from the X2 transceiver module optical bores.

d. Immediately attach the network interface cable SC connectors to the X2 transceiver module. (SeeFigure 3 .)

Figure 3 Cabling an Optical 10-Gigabit X2 Transceiver Module

Step 6 Plug the network cable connector into the CX-4 X2 transceiver connector. (See Figure 4 .) Make sure thatthe network cable connector is aligned with the X2 transceiver.

Figure 4 Cabling a CX-4 (Copper) 10-Gigabit X2 Transceiver Module

Step 7 Carefully route the network cable through the cable management brackets on your system. Figure 5 shows how the network cable should be routed through either a horizontal cable management bracket ora vertical cable management bracket to provide adequate strain relief and support to prevent connectorsag or skew.

Removing the 10-Gigabit X2 Transceiver Module

Note Make sure that you route the network cable through cable management brackets to provideadequate strain relief and cable support when cabling CX-4 X2 transceivers. The network cableis heavy. Without proper support, the network cable can cause the cable connector to sag or skew.Misalignment between the cable connector and the transceiver connector can cause intermittent

connections between the cable connector pins and the CX-4 X2 transceiver pins.

Note This removal procedure applies to both the spring loaded and non-spring loaded X2 transceivers.

Caution The X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individualgrounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with modules.

To remove an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:

Step 1 Disconnect the network interface cable from the X2 transceiver connectors. If this is an optical X2transceiver, immediately reinstall the dust plugs in the X2 transceiver optical bores and the fiber-opticcable SC connectors.

Step 2 Grip the sides of the X2 transceiver latching sleeve with your thumb and forefinger, and pull the latchingsleeve out to release the X2 transceiver from the socket connector. (See Figure 6 , top view.)

Step 3 Slide the X2 transceiver out of the socket. (See Figure 6 , bottom view.) Immediately place the X2transceiver in an antistatic bag.

Step 4 Reinstall the socket cover if you are not installing an X2 transceiver in the empty socket.

a. Position the socket cover in front of the socket opening.

b. Snap the socket cover in place.
