IOAs Requiring SFPs

Small form-factor pluggable transceivers (SFPs) are used on most IOAs. A range of SFPs that support different optical modes (multimode and single mode) and cabling distances are available. You can replace SFPs without disabling the interface or removing the module from the system. See Installing and Removing SFPs for more information and the E120 and E320 Module Guide for IOAs that use SFPs.

Note: Because SFPs are the same shape and size, you are able to insert an SFP that is not compatible with the IOA. Be sure the SFP you are installing is appropriate for the interface you are plugging it into. If you insert the wrong SFP, software diagnostics detect the error.
