2.5 Installing Fiber Optic SFP Modules
RICi-622GE uses SFP modules with LC fiber optic connectors that provide
hot-swappable industry-standard interfaces.
Third-party SFP optical transceivers must be agency-approved, complying with the
local laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser equipment.
³ To install fiber optic SFP module:
1. Lock the wire latch of each SFP module by lifting it up until it clicks into place,
as illustrated in
Figure 2-1.
Some SFP models have a plastic door instead of a wire latch.
Figure 2-1. Locking the SFP Wire Latch
2. Carefully remove the dust covers from the SFP slot.
3. Insert the rear end of the SFP into the socket, and push slowly backwards to
mate the connectors until the SFP clicks into place. If you feel resistance
before the connectors are fully mated, retract the SFP using the wire latch as
a pulling handle, and then repeat the procedure.
4. Remove the protective rubber caps from the SFP modules.
³ To remove SFP module:
1. Disconnect the fiber optic cables from the SFP module.
2. Unlock the wire latch by lowering it downwards (as opposed to locking).
3. Hold the wire latch and pull the SFP module out of the port.
