7210 SAS-M CHASSIS INSTALLATION GUIDE Transceivers
Issue: 07 3HE 10089 AAAA TQZZA Edition 01 47
4.2 Installation Preparation
Clean the connector on the fiber cable before inserting it in to the SFP/XFP to prevent
transferring small particles and contaminating the transceiver. Do not interchange
SFP/XFPs from one port to another without first cleaning the connectors.
To clean the connector, you can either:
• Wipe the side and end of the ferrule with a lint-free alcohol-dampened cloth.
• Blow dry the ferrule with compressed air and inspect for lint. Do not insert the
compressed air nozzle into the receptacle when blowing out.
4.2.1 Locking and Release Mechanisms
Nokia SFP/XFPs can use different lock and release methods. Possible lock and
release mechanisms include:
• Locking handle—A locking handle (lever) in the front of the SFP/XFP that you
gently raise or lower to insert or remove the module from the port.
• Bail — A bar or wire latch in the front of the SFP/XFP that you pull down and
outward to release the module.
• Tabs on the sides of the SFP/XFP that you press inward to release the
module.
4.2.2 Installing SFP/XFPs
To install an SFP/XFP transceiver:
Step 1. Remove the SFP/XFP from its anti-static packaging.
Step 2. Holding the SFP/XFP by its sides, slide the unit into the port until it clicks
into place.
Step 3. Remove the plug from the SFP/XFP optical bore when you are ready to
attach the network cable.
