The EM-422 is an uplink module with two slots for XFP (10Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceivers. It is
designed for use with high-speed switches, such as the XGS4528F. After installing the EM-422 in a switch, the switch can
have 10 Gigabit connections to a backbone switch or other
network devices.
This guide helps you set up and use your EM-422.
