For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and cabling the SFP module, see your SFP module documentation.
Warning:
Do not insert and remove SFP modules while power is on; an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding. Statement 1087
Installing SFP Modules into SFP Module Slots
Figure 20 on page 37
Caution:
We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove the SFP module with fiber-optic cables attached
to it because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module.
Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module.
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more
often than is absolutely necessary.

SFP Module with a Bale-Clasp Latch
To insert an SFP module into the SFP module slot:
1.
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.
2.
Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the correct side of the SFP module.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction
of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
3.
Align the SFP module sideways in front of the slot opening.
4.
Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot.
5.
Remove the dust plugs from the SFP module optical ports and store them for later use.
Caution:
Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until
you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from
contamination and ambient light.
6.
Insert the LC cable connector into the SFP module.
Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots
