Installing an SFP Transceiver in a Line Card
To install an SFP transceiver in a line card, perform the following
procedure:
Note
The 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 transceiver before you connect cables to it.
1. Remove the SFP from its shipping container and store the packaging
material in a safe location.
Note
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. Remove the dust plug from the SFP port, as shown in Figure 26.

3. Locate the label on the transceiver and turn it so that the label is on the
top and the alignment groove is on the bottom.
