Replacing SFP Transceivers
To replace an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedures:
Removing an SFP on page 66
Installing an SFP on page 66
To remove an SFP:
1.
Have a replacement SFP ready and a rubber safety cap for the transceiver.
2.
Label the cables connected to the SFP so that you can reconnect them correctly later.
Warning: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the end of a fiber-optic cable.
Fiber-optic transceivers contain laser light sources that can damage your eyes.
3.
Remove the cable connector plugged into the SFP.
4.
Carefully drape the disconnected cable through the cable management bracket to prevent
the cable from developing stress points.
Caution: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a
few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
5.
Pull the ejector handle out from the SFP to unlock the SFP.
Caution: Make sure that you open the ejector handle completely until you hear it click. This
prevents damage to the SFP.
6.
Grasp the SFP ejector handle and pull the SFP approximately 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) out of the SFP
slot.
7.
Using your fingers, grasp the body of the SFP and pull it the rest of the way out of the SFP slot.
8.
Place a rubber safety cap over the SFP.
To install an SFP (see Figure 38 on page 85):
1.
Identify the slot where the SFP will be installed.
2.
Verify that each SFP is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the SFP with a safety
cap.
3.
Carefully align the SFP with the SFP slots. The connectors should face the SFP slot.
4.
Slide the SFP until the SFP connector is seated in the SFP slot. If you are unable to fully insert
the SFP, make sure the connector is facing the right way.
Note:
Make sure the connector clicks into the port.
5.
Close the ejector handle of the SFP.
