Installation Instructions

• Avaya recommends the use of Avaya branded SFP transceivers as they have been
through extensive qualification and testing. Avaya will not be responsible for issues related
to non-Avaya branded SFP transceivers.
Installing an SFP
Install an SFP to provide an interface between the device and the network cable.
Before you begin
• Verify that the SFP 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 are connected 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 takes approximately 3 minutes.
Procedure
1. Remove the SFP 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
Transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If the 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.
