Installing SFP Modules

To connect the fiber transceiver and LC cable, use the following guidelines:
1. Remove the dust plug from the fiber optic slot chosen for the SFP transceiver.

Figure 2.7 Removing the Dust Plug from an SFP Slot

Note!
Do not remove the dust plug from the SFP slot if you are not installing
the transceiver at this time. The dust plug protects hardware from dust
contamination.
2. Position the SFP transceiver with the handle on top, see the following figure.
3. Locate the triangular marking in the slot and align it with the bottom of the trans-
ceiver.
4. Insert the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
5. Make sure the module is seated correctly before sliding the module into the slot.
A click sounds when it is locked in place.
Note! If you are attaching fiber optic cables to the transceiver, continue with
the following step. Otherwise, repeat the previous steps to install the
remaining SFP transceivers in the device.
6. Remove the protective plug from the SFP transceiver.
Note! Do not remove the dust plug from the transceiver if you are not installing
the fiber optic cable at this time. The dust plug protects hardware from
dust contamination.
