Description
Hot-pluggable SFP+ Form Factor
The 738369-001 HPE 1GB Short Wave iSCSI SFP+ 4-Pack Transceiver is a type of networking device that is used to transmit and receive data over fiber optic cables. It is specifically designed for use in iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) networks, which are used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and tape drives to servers and other computing devices.
The transceiver is hot-pluggable, which means that it can be inserted or removed from a device while it is still powered on, without the need for the device to be turned off or rebooted. This makes it easy to add or remove transceivers as needed, without disrupting the network.
The transceiver is also designed in the SFP+ form factor, which is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module with enhanced capabilities. SFP+ modules are commonly used in high-speed data applications such as fiber optic networks, and offer higher data rates and longer transmission distances than traditional SFP modules.
Transmission distance and Compatibility
The HPE 738369-001 1GB Short Wave iSCSI SFP+ transceiver is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceiver module designed for use in HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) networking equipment. This 4-pack of transceivers is designed to provide high-speed data transmission over short distances using fiber optic cables.
The HPE 738369-001 transceiver is compatible with a variety of HPE networking equipment, including switches, routers, and other devices that support SFP+ transceivers. It is specifically designed to support iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) protocols, which are commonly used for storage area network (SAN) applications.
The transmission distance of the HPE 738369-001 transceiver depends on the type of fiber optic cable used. It is designed to support multimode fiber optic cables, which can transmit data over shorter distances than single-mode fiber optic cables. Specifically, the HPE 738369-001 transceiver is designed to support transmission distances of up to 300 meters over OM3 fiber optic cables and up to 150 meters over OM4 fiber optic cables.
Installation and Configuration
The HPE 1GB Short Wave iSCSI SFP+ 4-Pack Transceiver is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) optical module that provides connectivity to HPE switches, routers, and storage devices. This transceiver is designed for use with iSCSI storage area networks (SANs), providing high-speed, low-latency connectivity between servers and storage arrays.
Here are the steps for installing and configuring the 738369-001 HPE 1GB Short Wave iSCSI SFP+ 4-Pack Transceiver:
- Identify the SFP+ ports on your HPE switch, router, or storage device that are compatible with this transceiver. Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ port, making sure to align the transceiver’s connector with the port’s receptacle.
- Attach a fiber optic cable to the transceiver’s LC connector. The other end of the cable should be attached to the corresponding port on your storage array or other iSCSI device.
- Check the status of the transceiver by logging into your switch, router, or storage device and verifying that the transceiver is detected and recognized. This may involve using a command line interface (CLI) or web-based management interface.
- Configure the transceiver’s settings to match the requirements of your SAN. This may involve configuring the transceiver’s speed, duplex mode, and other parameters.
- Test the connection between your servers and storage arrays to ensure that the transceiver is functioning properly. This may involve using tools like iSCSI initiators, ping tests, or other diagnostic tools.
- If you encounter any problems with the transceiver, consult the product documentation or contact HPE technical support for assistance.
