Note
Unnecessary removal and insertion of an SFP transceiver can lead to premature failure.
4.Remove the dust plug from the SFP slot.
5.Locate the label on the transceiver and turn it so that the label is on top and the alignment groove is on the bottom.
6.Slide the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot on the switch.
The SFP module can be installed in either slot. The SFP module is seated in the slot when it clicks into place.
Note
SFP transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when you store the SFP, always keep the plug in the slot. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future use.
Note
Unnecessary removal and insertion of an SFP transceiver can lead to premature failure.

For information about cabling for the SFP transceiver, consult the documentation that was shipped with the SFP.
