Installing the SFP transceiver module and optical fibers
CAUTION:
•Hold the SFP transceiver module by its two sides when you install or remove the module. Do not touch the golden finger of the module.
•Remove the optical fiber, if any, from a transceiver module before installing it.
To install an SFP transceiver module and optical fibers:
1.Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.Pivot the clasp of the module up. Holding the module, gently push the module into the slot until it has firm contact with the slot (when the top and bottom spring tabs catch in the slot).
3.Remove protective sleeves from optical fibers, and the dust plug from the transceiver module.
4.Connect the LC connectors of the optical fibers to the transceiver module.
NOTE:
Keep the protective sleeves for future use.
