7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 to install an additional SFP transceiver.
SFP transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in the
optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
storing the SFP. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future
use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of an SFP transceiver can lead
to premature failure.
For information on the cable specifications of the SFP, consult the
documentation shipped with the SFP.
