1.2 Description of Ports
Ports of TX432 are both 10G SFP+ ports. You can insert an
SFP+ transceiver into the port (on TX432) to connect it to the
SFP+ port (on another device) through an optical fiber, or an
SFP+ cable provided by TP-LINK. For details about the
supported SFP+ transceivers and SFP+ cables, please refer to

Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Tools for installation
•Philips screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
2.2 Installing & Removing the Interface Card
•Installing the Interface Card to the switch
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that it
has good skin contact and is well grounded.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the mounting screws
of the filler panel on the interface card slot of the switch
(T3700G-28TQ for example) and remove the filler panel,
as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Install an interface card (1)
3. Hold the fastening screws on the front panel of the
interface card, and gently push the interface card in along
the slot guide rail until the interface card is flush with the
switch, as shown in Figure 2-2.

4. Tighten the captive screws with a Phillips screwdriver to fix
the interface card in place.
•Removing the Interface Card
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that it
has good skin contact and is well grounded.

5
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws at
both sides of the interface card until all spring pressure is
released.
3. Pull the interface card towards you along the guide rails,
until it completely comes out of the switch chassis.
)Note:
•TX432 supports hot plug, so if necessary you can install or
remove the interface card when the switch is operating.
However, it is recommended that the power be turned off
during installation.
•Do not touch the surface-mounted components directly
with your hand while the switch is in operation.
•After removing an interface card, if no new interface card
is to be installed, please install the filler panel as soon as
possible to prevent dust from entering and ensure the
normal ventilation in the switch.
2.3 Verifying the Installation
The switch applicable to TX432 will display corresponding LEDs
on its front panel to indicate the port status of the interface card.
When the switch runs properly, check whether the interface card
is operating properly according to the status of its Port LED. If
the interface card isn’t operating properly, check whether it is
installed correctly.
2.4 Safety of Laser Use
TX432 is a Class-1 laser device.

Do not look straight at the optical port of TX432 when it is
operating, because the optical fiber beam is of high energy and
thus will do great harm to the retina.
Looking straight at the optical fiber beam could do great
harm to your eyes.
