Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction
of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
Step 3
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4 Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place, as shown in the
preceding illustration.
Step 5 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.
Step 6 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs and save.
Step 7 Connect the SFP cables.

Install 100/1000BASE-T SFP Modules

To install a 100/1000BASE-T SFP transceiver, read the guidance and complete the steps in this section.
The 100/1000BASE-T (copper) SFP transceiver, shown in the following illustration, has a bale-clasp locking
mechanism that secures the transceiver in the module socket. The SFP network interface is an RJ-45 connector.
Caution
Note

Class 1 laser product. (Statement 1008)
Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps 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.
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded,
shielded, twisted-pair, CAT5 cabling.
When connecting to a 100/1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four twisted-pair,
straight-through CAT5 or later cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When connecting to a
100/1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover CAT5 cabling.
