Figure 3-17 SRP bridge board
4.
Using the small Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the bridge board cover plates from the faceplate
of each SRP line card.
5.
Align the bridge board’s guide pins with the holes in both the upper and lower SRP line card, then
push the bridge board until the front edge of the bridge board touches the faceplates of each SRP line
card.
6.
Using the small Phillips-head screwdriver, tighten the four small, spring-loaded screws on the front
corners of the bridge board.
Installation is now complete. SFP laser interfaces can now be installed into the ports on the SRP line cards. See
Table 2-59 for a list of qualified SFPs.
3.3.12 Installing SFP Transceivers
Warning
If the SFP transceiver does not go in easily, do not force it. If the transceiver
is not oriented properly, it will stop about one quarter of the way into the slot.
Remove and reorient the transceiver so that it slides easily into the slot.
SFP transceivers vary slightly among manufacturers but the insertion process is virtually the same for all. To install an
SFP transceiver:
1.
Orient a transceiver as shown in Figure 3-18. Notice that the circuit board connector faces up.
