2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – i.e. switches with an SFP
installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media Converter.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot of the switch / converter. Ensure
that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
4. Check the link mode of the SFP port to see if there is any link failure. With
some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, setting the link mode to “1000 Force”
or “100 Force” may be needed for proper operation.
Removing the SFP transceiver
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting with a network
administrator before removing the SFP or use the switch or media converters
management interface (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Gently remove the fiber optic cable connector.
3. Flip the wire handle of the SFP module out to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the SFP module gently out of the mini-GIBIC slot with the wire
handle.
