SFP/SFP+ Transceiver Installation and Removal Guidelines

After receiving a shipped Infoblox appliance appliance with SFP or SFP+ support, Infoblox recommends installing the transceivers into your appliance before turning power on to the system for the first time. (This procedure is required for the Infoblox-4030-10GE appliance.) Pay heed to the interface configuration required for your application (for related information, see 10-Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity ).
Should circumstances require you to ship an appliance to Infoblox for repair or replacement, remove all SFP or SFP+ transceivers from your appliance before shipping it back to Infoblox. Keep your transceivers in your facility until the appliance is replaced or repaired and subsequently returned to you.
