Caution: SFP transceivers are static sensitive devices. Use an ESD wrist strap or
similar grounding device when handling transceivers.
Caution: Do not install or remove SFP transceivers while fiber-optic cables are still
attached. This can cause damage to the cables, cable connectors, and the optical
interfaces. It may also prevent the transceiver from latching correctly into the socket
connector.
Note: Installing and removing SFP transceivers can shorten their useful life. Do not
install or remove transceivers more than is necessary.
To install the SFP transceivers:
1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.
2. Remove the caps from SFP cage sockets on the front panel of the unit.
3. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the cage socket opening and ensure that
the transceiver is correctly oriented.
When the transceiver is correctly oriented, the extraction lever will be level with
the socket latch.
Note: SFP cage socket orientation may vary. Ensure that the SFP transceiver
module is correctly oriented each time that you are inserting a transceiver.
4. Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide it into the cage socket until it clicks
into place.
