• Handle the component by its edges. Do not touch solder joints, pins, or printed circuitry.
• Use conductive field service tools.
Installing an SFP transceiver and a fiber-optic cable
You must install SFP transceivers into each connector to which you will connect a fiber-optic cable.
About this task
Be aware of potential hardware risks when performing this task.
Attention:
Potential degraded performance – To prevent degraded performance, do not twist,
fold, pinch, or step on the fiber-optic cables. Many cables have a minimum bending radius. For
example, do not bend fiber-optic Fibre Channel cables tighter than a 2 in. (5 cm) radius. Check the
specifications for your cables and do not bend any cable more tightly than the minimum specified
radius.
Attention:
Possible hardware damage – To prevent electrostatic discharge damage to the tray,
use proper antistatic protection when handling shelf (tray) components.
Steps
1. Put on antistatic protection.
2. Make sure that your cables are fiber-optic cables by comparing them to the fiber-optic cable
shown in the following figure.
Your SFP transceivers might look slightly different from the one shown. The differences do not
affect the performance of the SFP transceiver.
1. SFP transceiver
2. Fiber-optic cable
3. Insert an SFP transceiver into the port in which the fiber-optic cable will be installed.
Note: Make sure that the SFP transceiver installs with an audible click.
