Installing SFP Modules and Fiber Cables
Warning
Visible and invisible laser radiation when open: DO NOT stare into the beam or view the beam directly with
optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius
—any arc smaller than a few inches in
diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Installing SFPs
1.
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare-metal grounded surface.
2.
Have a replacement SFP or a transceiver-cage plug ready, as well as an antistatic mat and a rubber
safety cap for the SFP.
3.
Locate the proper fiber cable.
4.
Position the cable at the SFP as shown below.
Caution
: Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module to prevent damage to the fiber
cable.
5.
Insert the fiber cable ends completely into the SFP as shown below.
6.
Insert the SFP fully into the cage as shown below.
