3.11.1. Module Insertion – SFP

Special attention must be paid to the orientation of SFP modules upon installation in the RX1512 chassis. The figure below shows the proper orientation of SFP modules installed in both upper and lower line modules. SFP modules on the upper row must be inserted top-side up. SFP modules on the lower row must be inserted top-side down. SFP modules should be inserted with the bail- latch in the locked position.

Figure 3.19. SFP module insertion

SFP modules should slide gently into their ports and should lock in place when fully inserted. Dust covers should be in place when installing the modules, and should always be in place when cables are not connected.

3.11.2. SFP Module Removal

To remove the SFP module, disconnect any cables and replace the dust cover to protect the optics. Extend the bail latch found on the top of the module. Grasp the bail latch and gently pull outwards to unlock and remove the module.

Immediately after removal, store the SFP module in an ESD-safe environment.
