Installing an SFP Module into an SFP Module Slot

Step 5

For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs from the optical ports and store them for later use.

Caution

Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Step 6

Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:

–

For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.

–

For copper SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.

Note

When you connect to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5
or higher cable.

Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots

To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2

Disconnect the cable from the SFP module.

Tip

For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 3

For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the
optical interfaces clean.

Step 4

Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in

Figure 2-14

Pull the bale-clasp latch out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you
cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow
instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.
