Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Step 6 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:

•For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.

•For copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.

Note When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair,

Category 5 cable.

Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots

To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis. Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.

Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 2-21.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.
