Chapter 2: Site Preparation and Installation
The insertion procedure for copper and fiber SFP modules is the same. To insert an SFP
module, follow these steps:
1
Put on the ESD-preventive wrist strap, and attach the leash to a grounded bare
metal surface on the SafeGuard Controller or equipment rack.
2
Identify the Tx and Rx marks on the top of the SFP module.
3
Align the module with the SFP module slot, and push it firmly into place until it
clicks into place and is completely seated (see
Figure 13 Inserting an SFP Module
4
Check that the SFP module is completely seated by gently pulling on it to see if it
comes out of the slot.
Connecting Cables
Connect the front-panel ports using cables appropriate to the installed SFP modules:
■
Single-mode or multi-mode fiber cable with LC connectors
■
Category 5 or better copper cable with RJ-45 connectors
■
For Gigabit Ethernet connections, Category 5e copper cable with RJ-45 connectors
Connect the Ethernet management port using Category 5 or better cable with RJ-45
connectors, as shown in
