Installing a transceiver
You can install a new transceiver in an XFP, SFP, or SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and
running.
While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.
NOTE
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
CAUTION
All fiber optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Use the following setps to install a transceiver.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface
(such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to
prevent incorrect insertion.
