3.Gently insert the SFP tranceiver into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. See Figure 5.

Important Note

When inserting an SFP tranceiver into ports marked 27 or 28, verify that the SFP is facing upside -down (as shown in figure below). All other SFP ports on the switch face right-side up.
