Install the Router
Step 4
Insert the appropriate cable connector into the SFP module:
• For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC cable.
• For copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable.
Remove SFP Modules
Follow these steps to remove an SFP module when it is necessary.
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2
Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.
Step 3
Unlock and remove the SFP module.
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale down and out to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed,
use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or any other narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.
Step 4
Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 5
For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces
clean.
Step 6
Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.

Connect Fiber Optic SFP Modules
Caution
Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or from the fiber optic cable until you are ready
to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and
ambient light.
Step 1
Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber optic cable, and store them for future use.
Step 2
Insert one end of the fiber optic cable into the SFP module port.
Step 3
Insert the other end into a fiber optic connector at a target device.
Step 4
Observe the port's LED status.
The LED turns green when the device and the target device establish a link.
If the LED is off, check whether the target device is turned on, or whether there is any failure in the target device.
Step 5
If necessary, reconfigure and restart the device or target device.
