5.1.2
Installing and 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.
5.1.3
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.
