Installing an SFP+ module
The SFP+ module provides two fiber-optic cable connectors for connecting to
external ports. To install an SFP+ module, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 8.
2. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that
contains the SFP+ module to an
unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter
chassis or an unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in
the rack in which you are installing the switch module for at least 2 seconds.
3.
Read the information in “Handling an SFP+ module” on page 15.
4. Remove the SFP+ module from its static-protective package.
5.
Remove the protective cap, if one is installed, from the SFP+ module port
where you are installing the SFP+ module and store it in a safe place.
6. Remove the protective cap from the SFP+ module and store it in a safe place.
Attention: To avoid damage to the cable or the SFP+ module, make sure that
you do not connect the fiber optic cable before you install the SFP+ module.
7. Insert the SFP+ module into the SFP+ module port until it clicks into place.
8. Connect the fiber optic cable (see “Connecting the SFP+ module cable” on page
20) and any cables that you disconnected earlier.
