Figure 3-1 Installing an XFP
Removing an XFP Module
To remove an XFP from the module port, refer back to Figure 3‐1 and proceed as follows:
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap before removing the XFP module.
2. Remove any network cable attached to the connector on the XFP module. To remove a
connector from the XFP port, grasp the handle and carefully pull the connector out of the port.
It may need to be loosened by gently moving it from side to side to release the latching keys.
3. Before storing or shipping the XFP module, place it into a static‐free container.
Backplane Connections and Installation Rules
The following sections describe the FTM1 and FTM2 backplane connections, and the hardware
configuration rules when installing first (6x1xx), second (6x2xx), third (6x3xx), and fourth (7xxxxx)
generation modules into the same Matrix E7 chassis.
FTM1 and FTM2 Connectivity
The Matrix E7 (6C107) chassis has backplanes referred to as FTM1 and FTM2. The 7xxxxx
DFE‐Diamond modules use FTM2 for high speed communication to each other and operate as one
switching unit with a single IP address. The traffic through these modules does not connect to
FTM1 except through an FTM bridging module such as the 7H4382‐25, 7H4382‐49, or 7H4383‐49
DFE module.

Caution: The XFP module and DFE module are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic
wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so can result in
damage to the XFP module and DFE module. Always leave the XFP module in the antistatic bag or
an equivalent antistatic container when not installed.
Precaución: Utilice la pulsera antiestática y tome todas las precauciones necesarias durante este
procedimiento. Si no lo hace, podría dañar el XFP ni el módulo. Mientras no esté instalado,
mantenga el XFP en su bolsa antiestática o en cualquier otro recipiente antiestático.
Note: A lowercase x indicates the general use of an alphanumeric character (for example, 6x1xx,
the x’s indicate a combination of numbers or letters).
