2-16 Installation
Preparation
Before installing the pluggable transceiver, proceed as follows:
1. Put on the antistatic wrist strap, shipped with the switch, and attach it to the ground 
receptacle on the switch I/O port side of the SSA switch before removing the pluggable 
transceiver from the anti-static packaging. Refer to the instructions in the anti-static wrist 
strap package. See Figure 2-12 for the location of the ground receptacle.

2. Remove the pluggable transceiver from the packaging.
3. If there is a protective dust cover on the pluggable transceiver, do not remove it at this time.
Installing the Pluggable Transceiver
To install an SFP or SFP+ pluggable transceiver in the SSA switch:
1. Hold the pluggable transceiver so that the connector will seat properly.
2. Carefully align the pluggable transceiver with the port.
3. Push the pluggable transceiver into the port until the pluggable transceiver clicks and locks 
into place.
Removing the Pluggable Transceiver
To remove a pluggable transceiver from a port:
Caution: Carefully follow the instructions in this manual to avoid damaging the pluggable 
transceivers and SSA chassis.
The pluggable transceivers and SSA chassis are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic 
wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could result in 
damage to the SFP, SFP+, and SSA. Always leave the SFP or SFP+ in the antistatic bag or an 
equivalent antistatic container when not installed.
Precaución: Siga las instrucciones del manual para no dañar el SFP, SFP+ ni el SSA, puesto que 
son muy sensible a las descargas de electricidad estática. 
Utilice la pulsera antiestática y tome todas las precauciones necesarias durante este 
procedimiento. Si no lo hace, podría dañar el SFP, SFP+ o el SSA. Mientras no esté instalado, 
mantenga el SFP o SFP+ en su bolsa antiestática o en cualquier otro recipiente antiestático.
