Chapter 3 Installing and Removing the Uplink Cards

Installing an Uplink Card

Installing the OC48 SFP Modules in the RPR/SRP Uplink Card

Use the information in this section to install OC48 SFP modules in the RPR/SRP uplink card.

Note Use only OC48 SFP modules purchased from Cisco Systems.

To install a bale clasp OC48 SFP module in the uplink card, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist, and to the router or to a bare metal surface. (See the “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” section on page 2-4.)

Step 2 Remove any SFP cage covers by pulling the cage cover from the SFP cage.

Step 3 Hold the SFP module with the hardware label facing up, as illustrated in Figure 3-1.

Caution The SFP module must be inserted with the hardware label facing up to avoid damaging the SFP module or uplink card.
