Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic
Step 9
Remove the dust plugs from the SFP transceiver optical bores.
Step 10
Immediately attach the network interface cable LC connector to the SFP transceiver.
Step 11
To connect 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers to a copper network, do the following:
Caution
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded,
shielded, twisted-pair Category 5 cabling.
a.
Note
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four twisted-pair
straight-through Category 5 cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When connecting to a
1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair crossover Category 5 cabling.

Step 12
Observe the port status LED:

Step 13
Reconfigure and reboot the target device if necessary.

Removing SFP Transceiver Modules

Caution
The SFP transceiver modules are static sensitive devices. Always use an ESD wrist-strap or other
grounding device when handling SFP transceivers.
To remove an SFP transceiver module, do the following:
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
Disconnect the network fiber-optic cable or network copper cable from the SFP transceiver module
connector. For optical SFP transceivers, immediately re-install the dust plugs in the SFP transceiver
optical bores and the fiber-optic cable LC connectors.

6-34
Insert the Category 5 network cable RJ-45 connector into the SFP transceiver RJ-45 connector.
Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 connector on a 1000BASE-T-compatible
target device.
The LED illuminates green when the SFP transceiver and the target device have an established link.
The LED illuminates amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops.
This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED illuminates green.
The LED is off when either the target device is not powered on, or there is a cable problem, or when
there is a problem with the adapter installed in the target device.
