Installing and Removing an SFP and SFP+ Module
Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
Note •
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables
from contamination and ambient light.
• Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
SFP module more often than is necessary.
• To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.
Use only supported SFP modules on the switch.
•
When you insert several SFPs in multiple switch ports, wait for 5 seconds between inserting each
•
SFP. This will prevent the ports from going into error disabled mode. Similarly, when you remove
an SFP from a port, wait for 5 seconds before reinserting it.
To install an SFP or SFP+ module, follow the procedures given below:
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth-ground surface.
Step 1
Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top of the SFP module.
Step 2
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be indicated by arrows that
show the direction of the connection.
If the SFP module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 3
Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
Step 4
Figure 2-15
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it to lock the SFP module in place.
Step 5
Remove the SFP dust plugs.
Step 6
Connect the SFP cables.
