Installing a transceiver

You can install a new transceiver in an SFP or SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running.
While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.

Use the following steps to install a transceiver:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act
as ground.
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
