The SFP module can be installed in either slot. The SFP module is

SFP transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable is not
installed, or when you store the SFP, always keep the plug in the
slot. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future use.

For information about cabling for the SFP transceiver, consult the
documentation that was shipped with the SFP.
