Installing SFP Transceivers
Warning
If the SFP transceiver does not go in easily, do not force it. If the transceiver
is not oriented properly, it will stop about one quarter of the way into the slot.
Remove and reorient the transceiver so that it slides easily into the slot.
SFP transceivers vary slightly among manufacturers but the insertion process is virtually the same for all. To install an
SFP transceiver:
