To install an SFP transceiver module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector or a bare metal

surface on your chassis.

Step 2 Remove the SFP transceiver module from its protective packaging.

Note Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.

Step 3 Check the label on the SFP transceiver module body to verify that you have the correct model for your

network.

Step 4 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP transceiver module.

Note On some SFP transceiver modules, the TX and RX marking might be replaced by arrowheads

pointing from the SFP transceiver module connector (transmit direction or TX) and toward the

connector (receive direction or RX).

Step 5 Position the SFP transceiver module in front of the socket opening.
