Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Setup
ASMi-54C LRS-102 Ver. 2.0 Installing the Module 2-3
During the installation of an SFP with optical interfaces, make sure that all the
optical connectors are closed by protective caps.
Do not remove the covers until you are ready to connect optical fibers to the
connectors.
All the following procedures are illustrated for typical SFPs with optical interfaces.
Your SFPs may look different.
³ To install the SFP:
1. Lock the latch wire of the 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 latch wire.

2. Carefully remove the dust covers from the corresponding SFP socket of the
ASMi-54C module, and from the SFP electrical connector.
3. Orient the SFP as shown in
Figure 2-1 , and then insert the rear end of the
SFP into the module socket.
4. Push SFP 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 latch wire as a pulling handle, and then repeat the procedure.
5. If necessary, repeat the procedure for the other SFP.
Replacing an SFP
SFPs can be hot-swapped. It is always recommended to coordinate SFP
replacement with the system administrator. Note that during the replacement of
SFPs, only the traffic on the affected ETH link is disrupted (the other ETH link can
continue to carry traffic).
³ To replace an SFP:
1. If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the SFP connectors.
2. Push down the SFP locking wire, and then pull the SFP out.
3. Reinstall protective covers on the SFP electrical and optical connectors.
4. Install the replacement SFP in accordance with the
Installing an SFP section.
