This section describes how to install SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into the SFP ports shown
in
Figure 6-2
.
You can connect SFP modules to these ports while the router is operating normally. The SFP ports are
labeled
ETH 1/2
and
ETH 2/2
.
When installing or removing SFP modules, observe these guidelines:
•
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
module more often than is absolutely necessary.
•
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.
To install SFP modules, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2
For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs and store them in a clean location for reuse.
Step 3
Position the SFP transceiver module in front of the socket opening, and insert the SFP into the socket
until you feel the connector latch into place.
Step 4
Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable LC connectors.
Step 5
Inspect and clean the LC connector's fiber-optic end-faces.
Step 6
Remove the dust plugs from the SFP transceiver module optical bores.
Step 7
Attach the network interface cable connector to the SFP transceiver module.
