Installing Sfp Transceivers Into Module Ports - Cisco IE 3000 Hardware Installation Manual

Connecting Destination Ports
When you use commercial SFP transceiver types such as CWDM and 1000BX-U/D in the IE-3000-4TC
Caution
or IE-3000-8TC S switch SFP ports, reduce the maximum operating temperature by 59°F (15°C). The
minimum operating temperature is 32°F (0°C). The IEM-3000-4SM or the IEM-3000-8SM expansion
module SFP ports do not operate at 1Gbps.
For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and cabling the SFP transceivers, see the SFP module
documentation.

Installing SFP Transceivers into Module Ports

This procedure is applicable to SFP ports on either the switches or on the expansion modules.
Note
Figure 2-32
Caution We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove the SFP transceiver with fiber-optic cables
attached to it because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces
in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP transceiver.
Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
transceiver more often than is absolutely necessary.
Figure 2-32
To insert an SFP transceiver into the module port, follow these steps:
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.
Step 1
Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the correct side of the SFP transceiver.
Step 2
Note
Position the SFP transceiver in front of the port opening.
Step 3
Slide the SFP transceiver into the port until you feel the transceiver connector latch into place. See
Step 4

On some SFP transceivers, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by
arrows that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
