The SFP transceiver must be inserted the correct way in the socket, which
varies depending on whether the switch has a single or dual row of sockets.
For example, the AT-8948 has single-row sockets but the AT-9900 has a dual
row. See the example of dual-row sockets for a copper SFP transceiver in the
figure below. Notice the varying position of the release lever.
Warning Do not look into SFP cables or transceivers. Invisible laser radiation
may be emitted from disconnected fibres or connectors.
Release Lever
Slide the transceiver into the SFP socket, and firmly press it until it engages. To
remove it, first release it by gently pulling the release lever, and then pull the
transceiver out of the socket. Never force a transceiver into or out of a socket.
