Installation Instructions

Before you begin
Important:
Do not install an SFP+ transceiver in an SFP slot. The two transceivers look the same but
function differently. Ensure the slot is an SFP+ slot.
• Verify that the SFP+ transceiver is the correct model for your network configuration.
• Before you install the fiber, ensure that the connector is clean.
Danger:
Risk of eye injury by laser
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into
an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables connect to a light
source.
Electrostatic alert:
ESD can damage electronic circuits. Do not touch electronic hardware unless you wear a
grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device.
Warning:
Risk of equipment damage
Only trained personnel can install this product.
About this task
Installing an SFP+ transceiver takes approximately 3 minutes.
Procedure
1. Remove the SFP+ transceiver from its protective packaging.
2. Grasp the SFP+ transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.
3. Insert the device into the port on the module.
Depending on the module type, you must insert some SFP+ transceivers into the port with
the bail facing up and some SFP+ transceivers with the bail facing down.
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 SFP+ transceiver until the device clicks and locks into position
in the module.
4. Remove the dust cover from the SFP+ optical bores, and insert the fiber optic cable.
