Guidelines to Handling SFP and SFP+ Transceivers
Review the following guidelines before installing SFP and SFP+
transceivers in the switch:

Transceivers are hot-swappable. You can install them while the
switch is powered on.

For a list of supported transceivers, refer to the product’s data
sheet on the Allied Telesis web site.

The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of
the transceivers are provided in documents included with the
devices.

You should install a transceiver before connecting its fiber optic
cable.

Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in
the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it for
future use.

Unnecessary removal and insertion of transceivers can lead to
their premature failures.
Caution
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an anti-static wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
devices.
