Install SFP Transceivers and Fiber Cables

Please review the following guidelines before installing SFP transceivers
in the IS Series switches:
SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install them while

the device is powered on.
For a list of supported transceivers, refer to the product data sheet.

The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of

the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
You should install a transceiver before connecting its fiber optic

cable.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in

the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it for
future use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to

premature failure.
Installing or removing a transceiver from a slot in the switch might

require slightly more force than typically required with other
network equipment. This is because of the design of the SFP
cages.
Warning
A transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.  E86
The illustrations in the following procedure show a transceiver with a
duplex LC connector installed in a AT-IS230-10GP switch. The connectors
on your transceivers may be different.
To install SFP transceivers in the chassis, perform the following
procedure:
1. Remove the dust plug from a transceiver slot. Refer to Figure 28.
