Install an SFP+ Transceiver

To install an SFP+ transceiver:
1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
2. Take each transceiver to be installed out of its electrostatic bag, and identify the slot on the component
where you will install it.
3. Verify that each transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the transceiver with a
safety cap.
4. Carefully align the transceiver with the slots in the component. The connectors should face the
component.
5. Slide the transceiver until the connector is seated in the component slot. If you are unable to fully insert
the transceiver, make sure the connector is facing the right way.
6. Close the ejector handle of the transceiver.
7. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable. Insert the cable into the
transceiver.
WARNING:
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
8. Verify that the status LEDs on the component faceplate indicate that the SFP is functioning correctly.
