4.3.2 Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Modules
The procedure for installing SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules is shown below:
1 Put on an ESD wrist strap (or antistatic gloves).
2 Insert the SFP or SFP+ transceiver to the guide rail inside the fiber interface line card. Do
not put in the SFP or SFP+ transceiver upside down.
3 Push the SFP or SFP+ transceiver along the guide rail gently until you feel the transceiver
snap into place at the bottom of the line card.
TIP:
The SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules are hot-swappable, meaning that they can be
inserted or removed while power is still present in the system.
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the two fiber bores inside the SFP or SFP+ transceiver module
while the network switch is operating as the laser may harm the eyes.
