Install an SFP transceiver

For each target MSA 2050 SAN host port, perform the following procedure to install an SFP. Refer to the figure above
when performing the steps.
1. Orient the SFP as shown above, and align it for insertion into the target host port.
The SFP should be positioned such that the actuator pivot-hinge is on top.
2. If the SFP has a plug, remove it before installing the transceiver. Retain the plug.
3. Flip the actuator open as shown in the figure (near the left detail view).
The actuator on your SFP option may look slightly different than the one shown, and it may not open to a sweep
greater than 90
4. Slide the SFP into the target host port until it locks into place.
5. Flip the actuator down, as indicated by the down-arrow next to the open actuator in the figure.
