Installing and Removing SFP and SFP+ Modules
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning
Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
•
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.
Observe these precautions:
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 shown 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
