Installing Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules into Cisco
Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
Small form-factor pluggable modules (SFPs) are hot-swappable Ethernet interfaces that can be installed
directly into the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card. See
Table 34
for SFPs
supported on the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card.
To install an SFP into the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card, perform the following
steps:
Step 1
Install the interface card in the router. (See
Chapter , “Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access
Routers.”
)
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Statement 125
Step 2
Slide the SFP into the housing on the interface card until it is locked into position. (See
Figure 117
.) The
SFP is designed to prevent improper insertion.
Tip
If the SFP uses a bale-clasp latch (see
Figure 117
and
Figure 118
), the bale-clasp handle should be on
top of the SFP in the closed position for proper seating of the SFP module.

Caution
Do not remove the optical port plugs used on the SFP until you are ready to connect cabling to the
interface card.
Caution
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC-1GE-SFP) only to intra-building
or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be
grounded at both ends.
