Installation Instructions

Procedure
1. Remove the SFP from its protective packaging.
2. Grasp the SFP transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.
3. As shown in the following figure, insert the device into the slot on the module.
Warning:
Risk of equipment damage
SFP transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If the SFP transceiver resists
pressure, do not force it; turn it over, and reinsert it.
Apply a light pressure to the device until it clicks and locks into position.
4. Remove the dust cover from the optical bore, and insert the fiber optic connector.
