Chapter 11 Network Acceleration Blade : NAB-0210EM

NAB-0210EM
This section provides the following information for NAB-0210EM:
SFP+ Modules
The interfaces on NAB-0210EM are two 10GigE SFP+ optical module ports that provide flexibility and convenience in connecting to a wide array of 10GigE devices.
The NAB-0210EM comes equipped with 10GBase-SR SFP+ modules that provide a 10 Gbps optical GigE connection to a network through an 850nm (SR) fiber-optic link using an LC physical connector.
Note: To determine the type of SFP+ modules installed in a NAB-0210EM, enter the show interface User EXEC command, and observe the displayed "Media type" value returned for the physical interfaces 1/1/1 and 1/1/2. A value of 10GE SR represents the 10GBase-SR SFP+ module. The SFP+ modules do not support speeds other than 10 Gbps.
The NAB-0210EM 10GBase-SR SFP+ modules are field-replaceable, hot-swappable, and provide uplink interfaces when inserted into the SFP+ ports of the NAB—thereby linking the P-7500 systems with the backbone network.
Use fiber-optic cables with LC connectors (Figure 13) to connect to the 10GBase-SR SFP+ modules.

Faceplate LEDs
As shown in Figure 14, NAB-0210EM has two faceplate LEDs on each of the SFP+ module ports to indicate their link and activity status as reported by NAB-0210EM:

Connecting to 10GBase-SR Devices
The 10GBase-SR SFP+ modules on NAB-0210EM have LC connectors for optical fiber connections using shortwave laser optics over multimode optical fiber (MMF) cable.
Refer to Table 16 for LC multimode optical fiber cables specifications for 10Gbase-SR ports.
Note: Fiber optic cabling characteristics are defined in IEC 60793-2:1992 (A1a, A1b, and B1) and IEEE 802.3-2002 Clause 38.11.

Inserting and Removing SFP+ Modules
This section describes how to insert and remove SFP+ modules from NAB-02010EM.
The modules can have any of three different types of latching devices to secure and detach themselves from a NAB port. The three types of latching devices used with SFP+ modules are:
Mylar Tab SFP+ Modules
The Mylar tab SFP+ module (Figure 15) has a tab that you must pull to remove the module from a NAB port.

To insert a Mylar tab SFP+ module into a NAB port, follow this procedure:
1.
2.
3.
4.
You have completed this procedure.

Actuator/Button SFP+ Modules
The actuator/button SFP+ module (Figure 16) has a button that you must push to remove the module from a NAB port.
Figure 16 Actuator/Button SFP+ Module
To insert an actuator/button SFP+ module into a NAB port, follow this procedure:
1.
2.
Note: Be careful not to press the actuator/button as you insert the SFP+ module because you may inadvertently disengage the module from the port.
3.
You have completed this procedure.
To remove an actuator/button SFP+ module from a NAB port, follow this procedure:
1.
2.
Gently press the actuator/button on the front of the SFP+ module until it clicks and the latch mechanism activates, releasing the module from the port.
3.
Grasp the actuator/button between your thumb and index finger, and carefully pull the SFP+ module towards you out from the port.
You have completed this procedure.
Bale-Clasp SFP+ Modules
The bale-clasp SFP+ module (Figure 17) has a bale clasp that you use to secure the module in a NAB port.

To insert a bale-clasp SFP+ module into a NAB port, follow this procedure:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
You have completed this procedure.
To remove a bale-clasp SFP+ module from a NAB port, follow this procedure:
1.
2.
Note: If the bale clasp is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale clasp.
3.
You have completed this procedure.
