SFP Transceiver Installation
To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:
Note
You should always install the transceiver before connecting the fiber
optic cables to it.
Note
The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off
the media converter to install a transceiver.
1. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
Warning
An SFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
transceiver.
2. Position the SFP transceiver with the label facing up.
3. With the handle on the transceiver oriented towards the top of the
media converter, slide the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks
into place. See Figure 6
Figure 6. Inserting the SFP
4. Verify that the handle on the transceiver is in the upright position or
oriented towards the top of the media converter. This secures the
transceiver and prevents it from being dislodged from the slot.
