Installing An Sfp Transceiver; Figure 3-5. Installing An Sfp Transceiver - Enterasys Matrix-V V2H124-24FX Hardware Installation Manual

Caution: DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on. Be sure you
power off the switch before installing any module.
Note: The stacking module must only be installed in port 25.
To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:
1. Disconnect power to the switch.
2. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from the
appropriate port by removing the two screws with a flat-head screwdriver.
3. With the module still in the anti-static bag, touch the metal frame of the switch to
prevent damage caused by static electricity discharge. Also, it is recommended
to use an ESD wrist strap during installation.
4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
5. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently
push it all the way into the port, ensuring that it firmly engages with the
connector.

Installing an SFP Transceiver

To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following steps:
1. Consider your network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP
transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the port
connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only
be installed in one orientation.
3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
