Insert the transceiver into the SFP cage.
Once properly engaged,
the transceiver can’t be removed

For any other model of mini-GBIC transceiver, please refer to the transceiver manual.

10Connecting the backup power supply
The GigaCore 16Xt comes with two backup power inlets at the rear. This inputs are meant to connect external power
supply units for both mains and Power Over Ethernet. This providing redundancy on power level.
Each power supply requires specific output voltage and pinout. It is not recommended to use dual output power supply
to feed the two backup power input, as both input requires a separate isolation.
Please respect the following pinout to connect external power supplies to the GigaCore 16Xt. Use the Luminex cable toconnect the GigaCore 16Xt to external power supplies.

The device operates with an AC voltage between 100V and 240VAC within a frequency range of 50Hz to 60Hz.
An IEC socket is located at the rear of the unit. Please use an IEC plug compliant cable to feed power to the unit.
Luminex recommends the use of a power cable, fitted with a locking mechanism to ensure a reliable connection to thedevice. Luminex also recommends to use power cable in accordance with the standards and the relevant authorities ofyour country.

!!! WARNING: TO ENSURE A TOTAL PROTECTION, THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED !!!

Connect the power cable to the device, and connect the other side of the cable to the mains. It will take around 20
seconds for the switch to boot up. You’ll then be able to use it.
