2.6.1 Installing SFP Modules
To connect the fiber transceiver and LC cable, use the following guidelines:
1. Remove the dust plug from the fiber optic slot chosen for the SFP transceiver.
Do not remove the dust plug from the SFP slot if you are not installing the trans-
ceiver at this time. The dust plug protects hardware from dust contamination.
2. Position the SFP transceiver with the handle on top, see the following figure.
3. Locate the triangular marking in the slot and align it with the bottom of the transceiver.
4. Insert the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
5. Make sure the module is seated correctly before sliding the module into the slot.
A click sounds when it is locked in place.
If you are attaching fiber optic cables to the transceiver, continue with the following
step. Otherwise, repeat the previous steps to install the remaining SFP transceivers
in the device.
