and the product label is visible, as shown in
wire release lever is closed (in the upright position).
Gently slide the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks into

place.
CAUTION: SFP transceivers are keyed and can be properly
inserted only one way. If the transceiver does not click when you
insert it, remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it.

The transceiver connects to the network using a duplex LC
connector. Attach a male duplex LC connector on the network
cable into the duplex LC connector on the transceiver.
