To install the SFP transceivers
1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.
2. Remove the caps from the SFP cage sockets on the
front panel of the unit.
3. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the cage socket
opening and ensure that the transceiver is correctly
oriented. When the transceiver is correctly oriented, the
extraction lever will be level with the socket latch.
Note: SFP cage socket orientation may vary. Ensure that
the SFP transceiver module is correctly oriented each
time that you are inserting a transceiver.
4. Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide it into the
cage socket until it clicks into place.
Caution: SFP
transceivers are
static sensitive
devices. Use
an ESD wrist
strap or similar
grounding device
when handling
transceivers.
Do not install
or remove SFP
transceivers while
fiber-optic cables
are still attached.
This can cause
damage to the
cables, cable
connectors,
and the optical
interfaces. It may
also prevent the
transceiver from
latching correctly
into the socket
connector.
Note: Installing
and removing
SFP transceivers
can shorten their
useful life. Do not
install or remove
transceivers more
than is necessary.
