PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s 10 Gb x8 SFP pass-through module | 1KC9R
The 10 Gb pass-through module supports both 10 GbE SFP and 1 GbE SFP optical module. The 10 Gb pass-through module supports 1 Gb and 10 Gb connections.
Use SFP to configure 10 Gb pass-through module and SFP or 1 Gb TOR switch to configure 1 Gb pass-through module.
Using a dual-rate optical module for a 1 GbE connection on the 10 Gb pass-through module results in an invalid link.
Use a dual-rate SFP optical module to configure a 10 GbE connection.
To establish optical links between two 10 Gb pass-through modules, an external rack switch must be used as an intermediary. Direct optical connection (using SFP modules, SFP modules, and Directed Attach Copper cables) between two 10 Gb pass-through modules is not supported.
NOTE: This restriction is not applicable for Direct Attach Copper connections or to the 1 Gb pass-through module
