Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP Modules

Warning

Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Caution

Do not remove the rubber plugs from the 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.


Before connecting to the SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling stipulations in
the

“Installation Guidelines” section on page 2-5

. See

Appendix B, “Connector and Cable

Specifications,”

for information about the LC on the SFP module.

Step 1

Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.

Step 2

Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port (see

Figure 2-19

).

Connecting to a Fiber-Optic SFP Module Port

Step 3

Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic connector on a target device.

Step 4

Observe the port status LED.

The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.

The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This
process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
