CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the switch, when you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow
from the small vent holes above and below the ports.
CAUTION:
ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel
ground strap when handling the S5448F-ON switch and components.
1. Position the optic to enter the port correctly.
The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.
2. Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
Optics removal
Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.
When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and steadily. Before pulling
the release tab, you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure that it is seated properly. Do not jerk or tug
repeatedly on the tab.
