Installing the XFP, SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ modules
CAUTION:
Do not touch the golden finger of a transceiver module during installation.
The installation of the XFP, SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ modules is similar. This section uses an SFP+ module
as an example.
To install an SFP+ module:
1. Remove the optical fiber if the SPF+ module is installed with an optical fiber.
2. Put on an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it has close skin contact, and is correctly grounded.
3. Unpack the SFP+ module and make sure the clasp is closed.
4. Gently insert the SFP+ module into the port until it fits in completely, as shown in
Figure 43 Installing an SFP+ module
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the dust plug of the SFP+ module port before installing an optical fiber.
