Chapter 4: Safety and equipment care
This section contains important safety and regulatory information. Read this section before you install
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP), Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) and 10 gigabit SFP (XFP)
transceivers.

Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines

Before you install an SFP, an SFP+ or an XFP read the following handling, safety, and
environmental guidelines:
• SFPs, SFP+s and XFPs are static sensitive. For more information about how to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), see
page 25.
• Dust contamination can reduce the performance of optical parts in SFPs, SFP+s and
XFPs. When you store an SFP, an SFP+ or an XFP, or after you disconnect it from a fiber
optic cable, always keep a dust cover over the optical bore of the device.
• Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.

Electrostatic Discharge prevention

To prevent equipment damage, observe the following Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
precautions when you handle or install the components.
• Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use a grounded
workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and a grounding wrist strap. The
wrist strap must touch the skin and be grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
• Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.
• Leave all components in their ESD-safe packaging until installation, and use only a static-
shielding bag for all storage, transport, and handling.
• Clear the area of synthetic materials such as polyester, plastic, vinyl, or styrofoam
because these materials carry static electricity that damages the equipment.
