Installing SFP/XFP Transceivers
Review the following guidelines before installing an optional SFP or XFP
transceiver in a switch:
A transceiver can be hot-swapped; the switch can be powered on
when you install it. However, you should always disconnect the cables
first before removing a transceiver.
You must install the transceiver before you connect the cables to it.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable is
not installed, or when you store the transceiver, always keep the plug
in the optical bores. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future
use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
Warning
A transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.
