Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFPs). These SFPs are pack-
aged separately and therefore are not factory-installed.
Follow the steps below to install an SFP.
Anti-Static Warning. Before handling any components,
free yourself of static by wearing a grounding strap, or by
grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage
the MiniGBIC, as well as the switch and uplink module.
1 Holding the SFP by its sides, carefully slide it into the
desired SFP slot (ports 1–24) on the OS6600-U24 module,
as shown.
Note. The SFP should slide in easily. Do not force the
SFP into the slot. Otherwise you can damage the connec-
tors. If any resistance is encountered, ensure the SFP is
aligned and oriented properly, as shown in the diagram
above.
2 Push the SFP into the slot until it is completely inserted
and securely seated in the OS6600-U24 SFP slot, as
shown.
