CAUTION: Do not install or remove fiber-optic SFP transceivers with cables attached because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP transceiver. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP transceiver. Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten the useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP transceivers more often than is necessary. 1. Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis. CAUTION: Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP transceiver or the rubber plugs from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP transceiver ports and cables from contamination and ambient light. 2. Remove the dust cap and save for future use. IMPORTANT: Use only SFP transceivers purchased from HP. 3. Insert the SFP transceiver.
