Figure 13: Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot
To install an SFP transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP
transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot
connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can
only be installed in one orientation.
3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.

SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to
be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver. However,
always first disconnect the network cable before removing a
transceiver.
