To install an SFP transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1
Wear an ESD protective wrist-strap on your wrist and attach the other end to a bare metal grounded
surface or an ESD ground connector to prevent ESD damage.
Step 2
Remove the SFP transceiver module from its protective packaging.
Note
Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.
Step 3
Check the label on the SFP transceiver body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
Step 4
Find the send (Tx) and receive (Rx) markings that identify the top side of the SFP transceiver.
Note
On some SFP transceivers, the Tx and Rx markings might be replaced by arrowheads pointing from the
SFP transceiver connector (transmit direction or Tx) towards the connector (receive direction or Rx).
Step 5
Position the SFP transceiver in front of the socket opening.
Note
Different Cisco devices have different SFP module socket configurations. Your Cisco device could have
either a latch-up or a latch-down orientation. Ensure that you are installing the SFP transceiver in the
correct orientation for your Cisco device. For more details, refer to the hardware installation instructions
that was provided with your Cisco device.
Step 6
Insert the SFP transceiver into the socket until you feel the SFP transceiver module connector snap into
the socket connector.

For optical SFP transceivers, before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections,
observe the following guidelines:
•
Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the
transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
•
Always inspect and clean the LC connector end-faces just before making any connections.
•
Always grasp the LC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
Step 7
Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable LC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future
use.
Step 8
Inspect and clean the LC connector fiber-optic end-faces.
