EM-412 User’s Guide

Overview

The EM-412 is an uplink module with two slots for 10GBase­CX4. It works up to a distance of 15 meters (49 feet) with the
advantage of having the lowest cost per port of all 10Gb
interconnects. It is designed for use with high-speed
switches, such as the XGS-4528F, XGS-4728F and the 10­Gigabit Module (MI-7308) of MS-7206. After installing the EM­412 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-412.

The EM-412 uses a high-speed 10GBase-CX4 cable as
pictured below. The image on the left gives a full view of the
cable. On the right is a close up of the CX4 connector.

Use the following steps to attach the 10GBase-CX4 cable.

1 Inject the cable firmly into the 10GBase-CX4 slot until it

clicks into place.

2 Tighten the attached screws to avoid poor contact

between the cable and connector.

3 The EM-412 automatically detects the cable. Check the

LEDs to verify that it is functioning properly.
