Installing A 10-Gigabit Ethernet Xfp Transceiver Module - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Installation Manual

Installing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFP Transceiver Module

Caution
We strongly recommended that you do not install or remove the XFP module with fiber-optic cables attached
to it because of the potential of damaging the cable, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the XFP
module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an XFP module.Removing and inserting an XFP
module can shorten its useful life, so you should not remove and insert XFP modules any more often than is
absolutely necessary.
Installing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFP Transceiver Module
Caution
The XFP transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding
device when handling XFP transceivers or coming into contact with system modules.
To install an XFP transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Remove the XFP transceiver from its protective packaging.
Note
Do not remove the optical bore dust plug until directed to do so later in the procedure.
2. Check the label on the XFP transceiver body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
3. Position the XFP transceiver in front of the XFP socket opening on the module. Slide the XFP transceiver
part of the way into the transceiver socket on the system module front panel.
4. Remove the optical bore dust plug from the XFP transceiver.
5. Pivot the bale clasp up so that it is parallel with the transceiver body (see the figure below).
6. Continue sliding the XFP transceiver into the socket until the XFP transceiver is mated with the transceiver
socket connector.
7. Latch the XFP transceiver in the transceiver socket by pivoting the bale clasp down so that the bale clasp
is perpendicular to the transceiver body (see the figure below).
Caution If the latch is not fully engaged, you may accidentally disconnect the XFP transceiver.
