Installing SFP/SFP+/XFP transceivers
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, never look directly into an open transceiver port.
CAUTION: Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP/SFP+/XFP transceiver,
because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces
in the transceiver.
Removing and installing a transceiver can shorten the useful life. Do not remove and insert
transceivers more often than is necessary.
CAUTION: Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP/SFP+/XFP transceiver or the
rubber plugs from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs
and caps protect the transceiver ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
1. Remove the dust cap and save it for future use.
IMPORTANT: Use only SFP, SFP+, and XFP transceivers approved for this device.
2. Install the transceiver with the label side up. (SFP transceiver shown).
