Installing SFPs in a CTP2000 Module
This section describes how to install small form-factor
pluggable transceivers (SFPs) on interface modules that support these
devices. In the current release, the CTP-FX2000GE-UPG supports SFPs.
You can replace the SFPs without disabling the interfaces or
removing the module from the device.
To install SFPs:
- Ground yourself by using an antistatic wrist
strap or other device, and connect it to an ESD grounding jack.
- Identify the following items on the SFP (Figure 1):
- The connection circuitry on the base
- The cable connectors on the front (which are protected
by a dust cover)

 | Caution:
Be sure to position the SFP correctly before you install
it. |
- Hold the SFP so that:
- The connection circuitry is adjacent to the module's faceplate.
- The cable connectors are visible when you install the
SFP.
- Slide the SFP as far as you can into the
module until the SFP clicks into place.
If the SFP does not slide smoothly into the module, make sure
that the orientation of the SFP is correct.
- 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.
- Remove the dust cover that protects the cable connectors.
- Connect the new cables to the SFP.
