Installing & Removing SFP+ Modules
The purpose of this section is to demonstrate how to install SFP+ transceiver module, attach an optical network
cable and remove an SFP+ transceiver module. It is necessary to understand the correct way of installing and
removing an SFP+ transceiver, as correct operation can protect the module from being damaged and ensure its
stable performance. Before removing or installing an SFP+ module, please follow the precautions and installation
instructions.
12.3.2
Precautions
1.
Use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
2.
Make sure there is no dust or any other foreign matter inside the SFP+ module, or blocking any of the
connectors.
3.
Clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before plugging them into the optical ports of an SFP+ module.
4.
Removing and inserting a module can shorten its useful life, so you should not remove and insert the
module any more often than is absolutely necessary.
5.
Insert the clean dust covers into the module after the cables are removed. Do not remove the dust plug
until you are ready to attach the network interface cable.
6.
Do not install or remove the SFP+ module with fiber-optic cables attached to it because of the potential
of damaging the cable, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the module.
7.
Disconnect all cables before removing or installing a module.
8.
Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or a static shielding bag if you plan to return it to the
factory.
9.
Protect the line card by inserting clean module cage covers into the optical module cage when there is no
module installed.
10.
Keep the protective dust plugs installed in the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and in the
transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
12.3.3
Installing the SFP+ Module
In order to install the SFP+ module, follow these steps:
1.
The Komodo II CLHS Frame Grabber supports the following SFP+ modules:
-
KY-SFP-10G31-10 – Allows of up to 10km connection over single mode fiber cable.
-
KY-SFP-10G85-3M – Allows of up to 300m connection over multi-mode fiber cable.
2.
Remove the dust plugs from the module as shown in figure 14 (a).
3.
The SFP+ module has a bale clasp that used to remove or install the SFP+ module.
4.
Close the bale clasp before inserting the SFP+ module.
5.
Line up the module with the port and slide it into the port as shown in figure 14 (b).
6.
Make sure that the male connectors on the module will align with the female connectors inside the cage.
7.
Verify that the modules are completely seated and secured in their assigned receptacles on the line card
by firmly pushing on each module. In case the module is not completely seated and secured in the
receptacle, you will hear a click as the triangular pin on the bottom of the module snaps into the hole in
the receptacle.
