Installing SFP transceivers

40
To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:
Note
The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off
the switch to install a transceiver. However, always remove the
cables before removing the transceiver.
Note
You should always install the transceiver before connecting the fiber
optic cables to it.
1. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
Warning
An SFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an anti-static wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
transceiver.
2. Position the SFP transceiver with the Allied Telesis label facing up for
the top SFP slots. Position the SFP transceiver with the Allied Telesis
label facing down for the bottom SFP slots.
3. Gently slide the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks into place as
shown in Figure 27.
