Procedure steps
1 Ensure that the bale latch is closed, that is, engaged against the end of
the module. Refer to the figure “A typical SFP optical module” (page 590).
2 Hold the module so that:
• the end with the latch faces you
• the large open end faces downwards for an NTHW44 and to the right
for an NTHW49
3 At about a 45-degree angle to the faceplate, gently slide the module into
the socket on the faceplate until you feel or hear a click confirm that the
module is engaged. The edge of the end of the module with the pair of
connector openings should be almost flush with the surface of the
faceplate.
