Transceiver Installation and Removal
Follow the instructions below for the appropriate transceiver type.
ESD Caution: Before handling the module, you must discharge all static electricity on your person to
avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage. If using a wrist strap, ensure that the wrist strap touches
your skin. Attach the other end of the strap to the chassis. If your chassis provides a grounding lug, this
can be used. Refer to your hardware user guide for details.

Dust Exposure: To reduce the risk of dust exposure and physical damage, be sure to replace the protec-
tive rubber cover (provided) when the SFP is not in use.
Eye Safety: SFP transceivers are international Class 1 laser products and are eye-safe devices when oper-
ated within the limits of manufacturers' specifications. Operating SFP transceivers in a manner inconsis-
tent with intended usage and specification may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Note: After removing a transceiver, wait for a minimum of 5 seconds before re-inserting any transceiver
into the same port. This allows sufficient time for software to detect the removal of the transceiver.
Note: Never force the transceiver in or out of the transceiver slot.

To remove, you must first open the SFP's hinged face to approximately ninety
degrees. Then, grasp the hinged face and carefully pull the SFP straight out of
the slot.
When inserting a SFP, be sure that the hinged face is closed. Slide the SFP
straight into the slot until the module clicks firmly into place.
