Installing XFP transceivers

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the fiber optic cable or the XFP transceiver, do not install or

remove fiber-optic XFP transceivers with cables attached. Disconnect all cables from the XFP

transceiver before removing or installing an XFP transceiver.

CAUTION: Removing and installing an XFP transceiver can shorten the useful life. Do not

remove and insert XFP transceivers more often than is necessary.

CAUTION: HP recommends attaching an ESD-preventative wrist strap to your wrist and to a

bare metal surface on the chassis to prevent electrostatic discharge.

CAUTION: Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic XFP transceiver or the rubber caps

from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect

the XFP transceiver ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
