MSA SAN Switch 2/8 Installation Guide
Installing an SFP Module
Use these steps to connect the SFPs in the ports of the MSA SAN Switch, as
required.
1. Remove the shipping plugs from the appropriate ports on the switch panel.
2. Position the SFP so the key (the tab near the cable-end of the SFP) is on top.
3. Insert the SFP into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching
mechanism clicks.
Note:
The SFP is keyed so that it can only be inserted with the correct orientation into
the port. If the SFP does not slide in easily, check the orientation.
See Figure 7 for an illustration of the fiber cable, the SFP module and tab, and
the optical port.
Figure 7: Installing an SFP
Note:
To remove an SFP from an optical port, carefully grasp the tab at the top of the
SFP and pull the module
straight out of the port
.
Do not pull up on the tab; you may damage your SFP module.
