Switch Installation
Procedure
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2
Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show
the direction of the connection.
Step 3
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4
Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
Step 5
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.
Step 6
For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs and save.
Step 7
Connect the SFP cables.
