Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber
caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs
and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and
ambient light.
Step 6 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:
• For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the
SFP module.
• For copper SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP
module.
Note When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted
four-pair, Category 5 cable.
Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots
To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on
the chassis.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable
end.
Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is
receive (RX).
Step 3 For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP
module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 4 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 3-16.
