Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Installing and Removing an SFP and SFP+ Module
Note
•
Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables
from contamination and ambient light.
•
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
SFP module more often than is necessary.
•
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.
•
Use only supported SFP modules on the switch.
•
When you insert several SFPs in multiple switch ports, wait for 5 seconds between inserting each
SFP. This will prevent the ports from going into error disabled mode. Similarly, when you remove
an SFP from a port, wait for 5 seconds before reinserting it.
To install an SFP or SFP+ module, follow the procedures given below:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth-ground surface.
Step 2
Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top of the SFP module.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be indicated by arrows that
show the direction of the connection.
Step 3
If the SFP module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4
Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.

Step 5
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it to lock the SFP module in place.
Step 6
Remove the SFP dust plugs.
Step 7
Connect the SFP cables.
