Installing an SFP

To install an SFP:

  1. Attach an ESD wrist strap to your bare wrist, and connect the wrist strap to an appropriate grounding point.
  2. Take each SFP to be installed out of its electrostatic bag, and identify the interface where it will be installed.
  3. Verify that each transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the transceiver with a safety cap.
  4. Carefully align the SFP with the interface. The connectors should face the chassis.
  5. Slide the SFP until the connector is seated in the interface. If you are unable to fully insert the SFP, make sure the connector is facing the right way.
  6. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable. Insert the cable into the transceiver.
