Installing SFP transceiver modules and
optical fibers
CAUTION:
•
When you install or remove an SFP transceiver module, do
not touch the golden plating on it.
•
Remove the dust plugs from an SFP transceiver module
only when you are to connect optical fibers to the module.
•
Before installing an SFP module, remove the optical fibers, if
any, from it.
To install an SFP transceiver module and optical fibers:
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin

contact and is reliably grounded.
Pivot the bail latch of the module up. Holding the module by its
2.
two sides, gently push the module into the slot until it has firm
contact with the slot.
