Installing SFPs

To install SFPs:

1. Ground yourself by using an antistatic wrist strap or other device and connect it to an ESD grounding jack.
2. Identify the following items on the SFP (Figure 22):
   • The connection circuitry on the base
   • The cable connectors on the front (which are protected by a dust cover)

   Figure 22: Representative 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 LK and ACT markings on the IOA's faceplate.
   • The cable connectors will be visible when you install the SFP.

   For the correct orientation, see Figure 23.

4. Slide the SFP as far as you can into the IOA until the SFP clicks into place.

   If the SFP does not slide smoothly into the IOA, 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 cable connectors.
7. Connect the new cables to the SFP.
