NSTALLATION
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port of device II,
and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II. If you make your
own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A
and B-to-B, as shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious damage to
your eyes, do not stare directly into the Laser Beam.
Installing a Transceiver
To connect the fiber transceiver and LC cable, use the following guidelines:
1. Remove the dust plug from the fiber optic slot chosen for the SFP transceiver.
Figure 1-23. Removing the Dust Plug from an SFP Slot
Do not remove the dust plug from the SFP slot if you are not installing the trans-
ceiver at this time. The dust plug protects hardware from dust contamination.
2. Position the SFP transceiver with the handle on top, see the following figure.
3. Locate the triangular marking in the slot and align it with the bottom of the transceiver.
4. Insert the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
