This section contains guidelines and procedures for installing SFP/SFP+
transceivers.
Here are general installation guidelines for SFP/SFP+ transceivers:
SFP/SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install them
while the chassis is powered on.
You should install a transceiver before connecting the 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.
The S1 and S2 stacking slots can be used as SFP/SFP+ slots.
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.
