Installing SFPs
To install SFPs:
1Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to
the ESD grounding jack on your system.
2Identify the following items on the SFP (see Figure 7-3):
•The connection circuitry on the base
•The cable connectors on the front
The cable connectors will be protected by a dust cover.
Figure 7-3 Example of SFP
Caution: Be sure to position the SFP correctly before you install it.
3Hold the SFP so that:
•The connection circuitry is adjacent to the TX and RX markings
on the module’s faceplate.
•The front will be visible when you install the SFP.
For a picture of the correct orientation, see Figure 7-4.
