To prepare for installation, make sure you have an ESD wrist strap that can be attached to a grounded metal surface. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a grounded metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.

WARNING For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.

To install an SFP transceiver into a port, do the following:

1.Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a grounded metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.

2.Remove the new module from its protective packaging.
