Install the SFPs after the RCM is installed. Installation procedures for all SFPs and XFPs are the same. The standard fiber
connector for the SFP and XFP is the LC connector style.
Installing Fiber Optic XFPs or SFPs Into the RCM Ports
Note: Ground yourself properly with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap.
CAUTION: Do not remove the plugs from the fiber-optic module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until
you are ready to connect the cable.
WARNING: Do not look directly into fiber optic cables or ports. The laser radiation used in these facilities is not visible and
may cause permanent damage, especially to the eye.
