1.5 General Safety
1.5.1 Cautions and Warnings
Disconnect all power from electronic devices before servicing. Some equipment may have
multiple power cords requiring disconnection.
1.5.2 Laser Safety
WARNING: Fiber optic equipment may emit laser or infrared light that can injure your
eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic
cables are connected to a laser light source.
CAUTION: Do not install or terminate fibers when a laser may be active.
WARNING: Never look directly into a live optical fiber. Always wear appropriate laser
safety glasses when working with open fiber cables that might be connected to an
operational laser transmitter. Direct open fibers ends away from faces.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performing procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
If a fiber optic laser device output is recognized as a higher than Class 1 product (Class 1M, for
example), the device is evaluated, labeled, and certified by TUV. Class 1 and 1M outputs are
not considered hazardous, but laser safety practices should always be observed.
A fiber optic transceiver emits either single-mode or multi-mode light into a fiber optic strand.
Take the following precautions when handling optical fibers.
• Wear safety glasses when you install optical fibers.
• Be aware of the risk of laser radiation exposure.
• Because transmitted light is invisible to the human eye, always assume that a fiber optic
transceiver is on and operational.
• Never look directly into a beam (T
part of a transmitter) or open fiber ends. The
X
invisible light can damage your eyes.
• Place optical fibers in a safe location during installation.
• Protect optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps for safety and cleanliness.
• Follow the manufacturer instructions when using optical test equipment.

1.5.3 Static Electricity
Eliminate static electricity in the workplace by grounding operators, equipment, and devices
including components and computer boards. Grounding prevents static charge buildup and
electrostatic potential differences. Transporting products in special electrostatic shielding
packages reduces electrical field damage potential.
1.5.4 Workplace Preparation
A safe and effective workplace provides the following items.
• ESD protective clothing/smocks: Street clothing must not come in contact with components
or computer boards since the various materials in clothing can generate high static
charges. ESD protective smocks, manufactured with conductive fibers, are recommended.
• Electrostatic shielding containers or totes: These containers (bags, boxes, etc.) are made
of specially formulated materials, which protect sensitive devices during transport and
storage.
• Antistatic or dissipative carriers: These provide ESD protection during component
movement in the manufacturing process. It must be noted that antistatic materials alone
will not provide complete protection. They must be used in conjunction with other methods
such as totes or electrostatic shielding bags.
• Dissipative tablemat: The mat should provide a controlled discharge of static voltages and
must be grounded. The surface resistance is designed such that sliding a computer board
or component across its surface will not generate more than 100 V.
• Operator grounding: Keep a wrist strap or ESD cuff in constant contact with bare skin with
a cable for attaching it to the ESD ground. The wrist strap drains off the static charge of the
operator. The wrist strap cord has a current-limiting resistor for personnel safety. Wrist
straps must be tested frequently to ensure that they are undamaged and operating
correctly. Use special grounding heel straps or shoes when a wrist strap is impractical.
These items are effective only when used in conjunction with a dissipative floor.
• ESD protective floor or mat: The mat must be grounded through a current-limiting resistor.
The floor or mat dissipates the static charge of personnel approaching the workbench.
Special conductive tile or floor treatment can be used when mats are not practical or cause
a safety hazard. Chairs should be conductive or grounded to the floor with a drag chain.

2 Product Overview
The EM316-2SFP transparent converter contains two MSA compliant SFP sockets connected backto-back. No components on the EM316-2SFP board are connected to the data path, so the module is
considered transparent. Supported speed ratings range from 100 Mbps up to 2.7 Gbps where speedmatching or multi-rate SFPs are required in both ports. This EM316-2SFP converter is hot-pluggable,
and it is managed through the Fiber Driver management bus from a network management module.
The SFP sockets support a wide range of SFP modules available from MRV to address any network
situation.
• Single-mode
• Multi-mode
• Multi-rate
• Single fiber bi-directional
• Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM)
• Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
• Copper 10/100
2.1 Management features
2.1.1 LIN
Link Integrity Notification (LIN) notifies connected equipment and network management systems
if the EM316-2SFP module detects a loss of receive signal on one of its SFP ports. The loss of
receive signal may be caused by a cable break, disconnection, remote power loss, or a variety
of other events. With LIN enabled on a module, the loss of receive signal is propagated
downstream to the remote end, notifying the remote device of a fault in the circuit. This
communication ensures that connected equipment is notified of a link fault. The connected
device, such as a switch or router, can then activate preconfigured, link-state dependent
redundancy mechanisms, and properly react to link conditions. This feature is extremely
important in fault-tolerant network designs. To avoid a possible “deadly embrace” condition
requiring operator intervention, ensure that neither remote device allows disabling of its SFP
transmitter.
LIN works in unmanaged and managed modes, and it applies globally to the module rather than
to individual ports. Enable LIN on the module to allow remote control of this feature through
network management.
LIN is not supported in a mixed copper and fiber environment.

EM316-2SFP User Guide
2.1.2 Loopback
The EM316-2SFP module supports loopback either by DIP switch setting or controlled through
the CLI or SNMP software settings. For software control the Loopback DIP switch must be set
to OFF. It the Loopback switch is ON, it cannot be over-ridden by software.
Loopback is one way to assure that the fiber optical communication path is valid and error free.
Packets sent over a short-circuit link should be received by the sender without any modification
to the original data packet.

3.4 Module Installation
EM316xx cards are hot-swappable, and they are designed to insert into a powered Fiber Driver
chassis. Install the EM316xx module into a single slot or multiple slot chassis by aligning the edge
of the card with the rail of the chassis and hand-tighten the thumb screw.
The thumb screw points to the left in the BU-1, BU-2, BU-3, and BU-4 chassis. The thumb screw
points to the bottom in the BU-16 chassis.
Tools
• 6-inch Phillips screwdriver (for some module screws)
• 6-inch flat-tip screwdriver
Procedure
Follow all guidelines to eliminate static electricity while handling the module and other electronic
devices. Refer to the front of this manual for some suggestions.
Step 1. If a blank panel is covering the target slot, remove it by unfastening the two screws with
a 6-inch Phillips screwdriver.
Figure 6 -- Remove the required blank panels
To comply with FCC regulations and to optimize air flow, a cover panel or a module must cover
every chassis slot. No chassis slot should remain open when the unit is operational to limit
external signal radiation. Securing modules and panels with appropriate screws is also
important for grounding and compliance.
