Inserting an SFP Transceiver into an SFP
Socket
To insert an SFP transceiver:
N
OTE
: The device uses lasers to transmit signals over
fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the
requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently
eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never
look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
1.
Put on an ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to
a grounded metal surface (such as an equipment rack).
W
ARNING
: Use an ESD wrist strap with a series 1 meg
ohm resistor.
2.
Remove the SFP transceiver from its protective package.
3.
Slide the SFP transceiver into the socket until the transceiver clicks into
place.
Some SFP sockets and SFP transceivers are manufactured without a
mechanism that enables a smooth insertion/retraction. This may prevent
you from inserting or retracting the SPF transceiver properly. In such cases
follow the below steps:
4.
Gently insert a slim, sharp instrument (for example a small screw driver)
between the socket's slip bump and the installed SFP. The slip bump is
indicated in the figure below.
5.
Lightly push the slip bump downward.
6.
Ease the SFP transceiver into/out of the SFP socket
