3.
Fasten the captive screws on the transceiver module to secure it in place.
Figure 7 Installing a CFP transceiver module
4.
Grasping the fiber connector between your thumb and index finger, align it with the transceiver
module optical bores and push it into the bores.
Transceiver module optical bores and fiber connectors have disorientation rejection designs. If
you cannot insert a fiber connector easily into a transceiver module bores, the orientation
might be wrong. Remove and reorient the connector.
5.
If you are not to install optical fibers, insert dust plugs into the transceiver module bores.
Removal procedure
1.
Remove the optical fiber from the transceiver module.
There is a latching mechanism between a fiber connector and transceiver module port to
prevent connector disengagement. Release the latching before removing the optical fiber. To
avoid damages, do not use excessive force.
2.
Loosen the captive screws on the transceiver module.
3.
Carefully pull the transceiver module straight out of the fiber port.
If you use force at an angle, you can hardly pull the transceiver module out and the transceiver
module or fiber port might be damaged.
