SFP Optics – Installation, removal, and precautions
The RX1510 can be ordered with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) pluggable optics modules. SFP modules
can be safely inserted and removed while the chassis is powered and operating. When inserting or removing
optics, observe the following precautions:
• Ensure that dust caps are mounted on SFP cages at all times, unless you are in the process of inserting or
removing an SFP module. The dust caps prevent the accumulation of residue or particles that might inhibit
proper operation.
• Ensure that you have properly discharged any possible electrostatic build-up to prevent electrostatic
discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by proper grounding through an ESD wrist strap, or by touching
earth or chassis ground before installing or removing optical modules. ESD can damage or shorten the life of
optical modules when they are not plugged into a chassis.
• Ensure that SFP optical modules are always stored in an ESD-safe bag or other suitable ESD-safe
environment. Keep SFP modules free from moisture and store them at the proper temperature (-40°C to
+85°C).
• Disconnect all cables from the SFP module before inserting or removing the module.
• Use only components certified by RuggedCom Inc. with RuggedCom products. Damage can occur to optics
and product if compatibility and reliability have not been properly assessed.
Section 3.11.1
Module Insertion – SFP
Special attention must be paid to the orientation of SFP modules upon installation in the RX1510 chassis. The
figure below shows the proper orientation of SFP modules installed in both upper and lower line modules. SFP
modules on the upper row must be inserted top-side up. SFP modules on the lower row must be inserted top-side
down. SFP modules should be inserted with the bail-latch in the locked position.
