Connecting a Small Form-Factor Pluggable Module

Installing an SFP Module

To connect and secure the SFP module, follow these steps:
Step 1 Slide the SFP into the SFP port connector until it locks into position (see Figure 3-33).
Tip If the SFP uses a bale-clasp latch (see Figure 3-33), the handle should be on top of the SFP module.
Figure 3-33 Installing an SFP Module
Caution Do not remove the optical port plugs from the SFP until you are ready to connect cabling.
Step 2 Connect the network cable to the SFP module.

Removing an SFP Module

Follow these steps to remove the SFP module from a Cisco 892F series router:
Step 1 Disconnect all cables from the SFP.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Statement 1051
Caution The latching mechanism used on many SFPs locks the SFP into place when cables are connected. Do not
pull on the cabling in an attempt to remove the SFP.
Step 2 Disconnect the SFP latch. See Figure 3-34.
Note SFP modules use various latch designs to secure the module in the SFP port. Latch designs are not linked
to SFP model or technology type. For information on the SFP technology type and model, see the label
on the side of the SFP.
