4. Line up the module with the port.

5. Slide the module into the port. If the module is an actuator-button

type, do not press the actuator button as you insert the module,

as this might stop the module from seating correctly inside the

port.

6. Push gently but firmly on the outer face of the module. If the

module is correctly aligned, you will hear a click as the slide pin at

the bottom of the module snaps into place.

To remove an XCO-type SFP module from the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER, do

the following steps:

CAUTION

Do not remove or insert SFP modules any more often than

absolutely necessary. Removing and inserting SFP modules

can shorten their useful life.

Do not install or remove the SFP module if a fiber-optic cable is

attached to it. This can damage the cable, the cable connector,

and the optical interfaces in the SFP module.

1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and follow its

instructions for use.

2. Disconnect and remove the fiber-optic cable from the SFP

module before removing or installing the module.

3. Insert a clean dust cover into the SFP module’s interface port.

4. Remove the SFP module from its receptacle, using the correct

method for each module type as shown below:

• If the module is a bale-clasp type, open the bale clasp on

the module in a downward direction using a small flat-blade

screwdriver.

• If the module is a mylar-tab type, pull the tab gently in a

slightly downward direction until the module disengages

from the port. Do not twist or jerk the tab, as this can cause

the tab to disconnect from the module.

• If the module is an actuator-button type, gently press the

actuator button on the front of the module until the module

is released from the port.

• If the module is a slide-tab type, push the slide tab on the

bottom front of the module inward to disengage the module

from the port.

5. Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and

carefully remove the module from the port.

6. Immediately place the removed SFP module on an anti-static

mat, or in a static shielding bag.
