Installing SFPs

To install SFPs:

1. Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD grounding jack on your system.
2. Identify the following items on the SFP, as shown in Figure 41:
   • The connection circuitry on the base
   • The cable connectors on the front

   The cable connectors are protected by a dust cover.

   Figure 41: Example of SFP

   

   Caution: Be sure to position the SFP correctly before you install it.

3. Hold the SFP so that:
   • The connection circuitry is adjacent to the TX and RX markings on the module's faceplate.
   • The front will be visible when you install the SFP.

   For the correct orientation, see Figure 42.

4. Insert the SFP into the I/O module until it clicks into place.

   If the SFP does not slide smoothly into the I/O module, make sure that the orientation of the SFP is correct.

5. Gently pull the SFP to confirm that it is inserted correctly.

   If the SFP comes out of the slot when you pull it, repeat Step 4.

6. Remove the dust cover that protects the ports.
7. Connect the new cables to the SFP.

If you are using the redundant port on the GE I/O module, repeat Steps 2–7 for the other port.
