Installing an SFP Transceiver in a Line Card
To install an SFP transceiver in a line card, perform the following 
procedure:
Note
The SFP transceiver can be hot swapped; you do not need to power 
off the chassis to install an SFP transceiver. However, always 
remove the cables before removing the SFP.
Note
You must install the SFP transceiver before you connect cables to it.
1. Remove the SFP transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
Caution
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. Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot in the line card, as shown in
Figure 24. Installing an SFP Transceiver in a Line Card
