Installing or Removing XFP Modules
Extreme Networks Consolidated ExtremeXOS Hardware Installation Guide

XFP modules contain Class 1 lasers. Invisible laser radiation can occur when laser connections are unplugged. Do
not stare into the beam. This device is compliant with FCC 21 CFR 1040.10 and EN60825-1 A2:2001.
Installing an XFP Module
Disconnect the fiber optic cable from the XFP module before removing the module from the Summit XGM2-2xf
option card. Do not stare directly into the beam; it can cause eye damage.
To prevent ESD damage to the XFP module, always use an appropriately grounded ESD-preventive wrist strap when
installing or removing the module. Handle the module by its sides only. Never touch the card-edge connectors at the
insertion end of the module.
To install an XFP module:
1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to the equipment
rack.
2 Remove the XFP module from its antistatic container and remove the dust covers from the module
optical connectors.
If your module has a protective pad covering the card-edge connector, remove it. Store the antistatic
container, dust covers, and card-edge connector protective pad in a clean location from which they
can be easily retrieved if you need to uninstall the module.
3 Remove any rubber dust covers from the port where you are installing the XFP module.
4 Move the handle on the Summit XGM2-2xf option card into an upright position to access the XFP
ports (see Figure 214).

5 Holding the module by its sides, partially insert the XFP module into one of the Summit XGM2-2xf
option card XFP ports (see Figure 215).
6 Push the XFP handle (bail latch) upward until it clicks into place (see Figure 215).
7 Slide the XFP module as far into the slot as possible, until you hear it click, indicating that it is
firmly attached (see Figure 215 and Figure 216).
