SFP Optic Ethernet Ports
SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) optic Ethernet ports are available with LC (Lucent Connector) connectors.
Make sure the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) connections of each port are properly connected and matched to
establish a proper link.

NOTE
SFP modules, as well as their optical ports, can be safely inserted and removed while the chassis is
powered and operating.
The following sections describe how to install and remove SFP optical ports:
•
Section 3.3.1, "Installing an SFP Optical Port"
•
Section 3.3.2, "Removing an SFP Optical Port"
Section 3.3.1
Installing an SFP Optical Port
To install an SFP optical port, do the following:
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Use only components certified by Siemens with
RUGGEDCOM products. Damage to the module and device may occur if compatibility and reliability
have not been properly assessed.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated
before installing or removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause
serious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
1.
Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to prevent electrostatic
discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing an ESD wrist strap or by touching Earth or the
chassis ground.
2.
Remove the dust cover from the port opening in the module.
CAUTION!
Mechanical hazard – risk of component damage. SFP optical ports are designed to insert in only
one orientation. Do not force the port into the module.
3.
Remove the port from its packaging.
