4.6.3 Installing the SFP Module

SFP modules might ship already installed in your VS-1200, or they might arrive packaged

separately. This section describes how to install the SFP module.

NOTE: You can install SFP modules with power on to the system; however, it is strongly

recommended that you do not install the SFP module with fiber or copper cables attached to it.

Disconnect all cables before installing a SFP module.

CAUTION: Prevent system problems, use only Datacom Systems Inc. supplied SFP modules.

Step 1. Turn the SFP module so the latch is towards the center of the Gigabit Ethernet Interface

sockets. The SFP module is keyed so that it cannot be inserted incorrectly.

Step 2. Insert the SFP module into the SFF port and repeat Step 1 and Step 2 inserting other SFP

modules until completed.

Step 3. Attach the appropriate network cable to the LC-type or RJ45-type connector on the SFP

module. For fiber optic SFP modules you can use either simplex or duplex connectors. For simplex

connectors, two cables are required, one cable for transmit (Rx) and a second cable for receive

(Rx). For duplex connectors, only one cable that has both Tx and Rx connectors is required.

4.6.4 Removing the SFP Module

SFP modules might ship already installed in your VS-1200, or they might arrive packaged

separately. This section describes how to remove the SFP module.

NOTE: You can remove SFP modules with power on to the system; however, it is strongly

recommended that you do not remove the SFP module with fiber or copper cables attached to it.

Disconnect all cables before removing a SFP module.

Step 1. Disconnect the network cable from the SFP module LC-type or RJ45-type connector.

Step 2. Release the SFP module from the GE SFF port by moving the swing latch away from the

body of the unit.

Step 3. Slide the SFP module out of the GE SFF port.
