Installing an SFP
Transceiver
Before installing an SFP transceiver in the switch, review the following
guidelines.
Here is a list of guidelines to installing an SFP transceiver:
The switch supports 1G and 10G speed on the SFP/SFP+ slot.
For a list of supported SFP transceivers, see Table 3 on page 17.
The transceivers are hot-swappable. You can install them while the
switch is powered on.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of
the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
You should install a transceiver before connecting its fiber optic
cable.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable
is not installed, keep the dust plug on the SFP transceiver. When
you remove the dust plug from the SFP transceiver, store it for the
future use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
Caution
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
devices.

To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove an SFP transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
2. Position the SFP transceiver and slide it into port 26 until it clicks into
place. See Figure 21 on page 44.
Note
The installation instructions show an SFP transceiver with an LC
connector as an example. For a list of SFP transceivers that the
switch supports, see Table 3 on page 17.
