Description
Installation and Configuration
The 747698-B21 is a 40GB QSFP+ MPO SR4 transceiver module designed for use with the HPE BladeSystem C-Class server chassis. This transceiver module allows for high-speed data transfer between servers and other networking devices, such as switches and routers, over a distance of up to 300 meters.
To install the 747698-B21 transceiver module, follow these steps:
- Power off the server and remove it from the BladeSystem C-Class chassis.
- Locate the transceiver module slot on the server’s network interface card (NIC).
- Remove the protective cover from the slot and carefully insert the transceiver module into the slot, making sure it is securely seated.
- Reinstall the server into the BladeSystem C-Class chassis and power it back on.
Once the transceiver module is installed, you will need to configure it for use with your networking environment. This can typically be done through the server’s operating system or through the network switch or router that the server is connected to. Consult the documentation for your specific networking devices for instructions on how to configure the transceiver module.
In general, you will need to configure the transceiver module’s speed and duplex settings to match those of your networking environment. You may also need to configure other parameters, such as VLAN tagging or Quality of Service (QoS) settings, depending on your networking requirements.
Data Transfer Rate and Bandwidth Capacity
The 747698-B21 is a transceiver module designed for the HPE Bladesystem C-Class enclosure. It uses a 40GB QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface and supports multi-mode fiber connections using MPO (Muti-fiber Push-On) connectors.
The “SR4” in the product name indicates that this transceiver supports short-range transmissions, up to 300 meters. This makes it suitable for use in data center environments where high-speed, low-latency connections between servers, switches, and storage systems are required.
In terms of data transfer rate, the 747698-B21 is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 40 Gbps (gigabits per second). This is a very high bandwidth capacity, allowing for the transmission of large amounts of data in a short amount of time. It is important to note that the actual data transfer rate achieved may depend on factors such as the quality and length of the fiber optic cable used, as well as the performance of the networking equipment on either end of the connection.
Transmission Distance and Compatibility
The 747698-B21 HPE BladeSystem c-Class 40GB QSFP+ MPO SR4 300m transceiver is a high-performance, hot-pluggable optical module designed for use with HPE BladeSystem c-Class switches and servers. It is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 40Gbps over multi-mode fiber optic cabling.
The transceiver uses a QSFP+ form factor, which is a small, pluggable optical module that uses a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) electrical interface. The QSFP+ interface supports four channels of data transmission, each running at speeds of up to 10Gbps.
The transceiver is designed to work with multi-mode fiber optic cabling with an MPO connector. It uses a short-range (SR) transmission method, which supports transmission distances of up to 300 meters over OM3 or OM4 fiber optic cabling.
Compatibility-wise, the 747698-B21 transceiver is designed to work specifically with HPE BladeSystem c-Class switches and servers. It is not compatible with other systems or devices that use different form factors or connectors
