Installing a new fiber optic module

You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and
10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use.
You can install a new copper or fiber optic module in a port while the Brocade device is powered on
and running.
To install a fiber optic module, you will need an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal
surface.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
To install a copper or fiber optic module, do the following:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface
2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the copper or fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place.
