5 INSTALLING AND REMOVING SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ MODULES
This chapter describes how SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ modules must be installed and removed. It also
informs about DATACOM guidelines for the cleaning and storage of modules and optical
fibers.
SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable), SFP+ and QSFP+ modules are inserted into the switch's
SFP, SFP+ and QSFP+ ports, operating as transceivers between the switch and the selected
optical communication path.
So as to ensure a long life and good performance of the switch, it is very important to follow
the DATACOM guidelines described below.

Care with Optical Cords
o
Always keep optical cords that are not being used with their protective cap.
The core of the optical cords can become dirty and cause loss of performance
just by being stored without the protective cover, even if stored in a suitable
cabinet;
o
Clean the core of the optical cords before using them. To clean them it is
necessary to use only specific materials. Any other material used to clean the
core of the
optical cords may result in loss of performance to the switch or
even irreparable damage to the cords.
 Care with Optical Modules
o
When handling the optical modules, you need to always use an antistatic wrist
strap;
o
In order to transport and store the optical modules it is necessary to always
use their original packaging to prevent any physical or electrostatic damage to
the module.
o
Modules and ports that are not being used must always have their protective
cover inserted so as to avoid dust, which causes the loss of link performance.
When performing any maintenance to the switch, make sure the maintenance
technician is using the appropriate protections. Grounding (use of antistatic wrist
strap) can prevent damage to the operator's health and damage to the switch.
The SFP modules provided by DATACOM comply with the INF-8074i (SFP MSA),
SFF-8431 (SFP+ MSA), SFF-8436 (QSFP+ MSA) and IEC/EN 60825-1 (LASER safety)
specifications. Unapproved modules do not guarantee the correct operation of
the switches and can damage
them. Contact T

for more
information regarding the risk of using unapproved modules and the possibility of
using them.
The optical modules use invisible radiation laser transmitters. Although most
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ on the market meet LASER safety specifications, never look
directly at the terminals of a module or an optical cord. Exposure to laser
emissions may cause partial or total loss of vision.
