Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Installing and Removing SFP Modules
This section presents procedures to install and remove fiber-optic and 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver modules.
Installing SFP Modules
These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into SFP module slots on the
front of the switch. Field-replaceable SFP modules provide the uplink interfaces, send (TX) and receive (RX).
You can use any combination of rugged SFP modules. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module
on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
For more information about SFP modules, see
Caution: Depending on the SFP module you use, the operating temperature limits may be effected. Choose an SFP
module appropriate to the installed environment.
Caution: To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow standard board and component handling
procedures.
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
Note: Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any module more often
than is absolutely necessary.
Caution: Do not install or remove the LC SFP module with fiber-optic cables attached because of 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.
Installing Fiber Optic SFP Modules
Warning: Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
To install and cable an optical SFP transceiver uplink port:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
2. Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.
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. If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
4. Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
5. If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.
6. For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs and save.
7. Connect the SFP cables.
