Procedure 2-8
To Install a Pluggable Optic
Step Action
1 Do one of the following:
• If the optic is being installed in the top row, hold the optic module by the
sides and position it so that the label is facing up and the 20-pin
connector card (rear of the optic) is facing the empty optic slot.
• If the optic is being installed in the bottom row, hold the optic module by
the sides and position it so that the label is facing down and the 20-pin
connector card (rear of the optic) is facing the empty optic slot.
Note: If installed with the incorrect orientation, the optic will only insert
halfway into the slot. Remove the optic, turn it over, and reinstall. Do not
forcibly insert an optic.
2 Gently insert the pluggable optic module into the available slot until it seats
completely. Take care not to crush the side clips, if present.
Note: Certain types of SFP transceivers have small springs/clips on each
side, near the front (connector) end. These springs may catch on the SFP
cage during insertion, and prevent the full insertion of the optic. Take extra
care when installing these types of optics, do not force the optic into the slot
if any resistance is felt. Bent springs may be carefully reformed with needle
nose pliers.
WARNING: To prevent ESD damage to electronic components, always use an ESD
wrist strap when handling modules.
