Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Step 5

For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.

Caution

Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Step 6

Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:

For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.

For copper SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.

Note

When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5
cable.

Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2

Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.

Note

For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 3

Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in

Figure 2-15

.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp
latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, carefully use a small, flat-blade
screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.
