Installing an SFP+ module

The SFP+ module provides two fiber-optic cable connectors for connecting to external ports. To
install an SFP+ module, complete the following steps:

1. Read the safety information that begins on

page ix

and

“Installation guidelines”

on page 9.

2. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the SFP+

module to an unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter chassis or an unpainted metal
surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the
switch module for at least 2 seconds.

3. Read the information in

“Handling an SFP+ module”

on page 15.

4. Remove the SFP+ module from its static-protective package.

5. Remove the protective insert, if one is installed, from the port where you are installing the

SFP+ module and store it in a safe place.

6. Remove the protective cap from the SFP+ module and store it in a safe place.

ATTENTION

To avoid damage to the cable or the SFP+ module, make sure that you do not connect the fiber
optic cable before you install the SFP+ module.

7. Insert the SFP+ module into the SFP+ module port until it clicks into place.
