Inserting and Removing the SFP+ Module Patch Cable

Note This section shows how to install and remove an SFP+ module patch cable into an SFP+ (uplink) module slot. The procedure is the same for installing an SFP module patch cable into an SFP (downlink) module slot.

To insert an SFP+ module patch cable into the SFP+ module slot, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.

Step 2 Insert the SFP+ module patch cable into the slot until you feel the connector on the cable snap into place in the rear of the slot (see Figure 2-13).
