Before inserting cables into the 1-port Gigabit Ethernet FIC, you must install a small
form-factor pluggable (SFP). Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver
modules provide support for SX, LX, and LH optics.
To install an SFP into the FIC, follow this procedure:
Verify that each SFP has a rubber safety cap covering the optical transceiver. If it does
1.
not, cover the transceiver with a safety cap.
Carefully align the SFP with the slot in the FIC. The connector should face down.
2.
Slide the SFP until the connector is seated in the FIC slot. If you are unable to fully
3.
insert the SFP, make sure the connector is facing the proper direction.

WARNING: Do not look directly into transceivers or into the ends of fiber-optic
cables connected to a transceiver. Fiber-optic transceivers emit laser light
that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: When handling fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable,
observe the following precautions:
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or
removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
Do not bend 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.
Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening
point.
