Installing an SFP If your switch did not come with installed SFPs, or you are replacing older ones, follow the instructions below to install your SFPs. Note: SFPs are keyed so that they can be inserted only in the correct orientation. The ports in the top row the switch are oriented in one direction, and the lower row of ports are oriented in the opposite direction. If an SFP does not install easily, ensure that it is oriented and aligned correctly, and that the port is not blocked by a protective cap or other object. 1. Remove the protective cap (if any) from the switch port. Save the cap for future use. 2. Remove the SFP from its static-protective package. 3. Remove the protective cap from the SFP module, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13. Save the cap for future use. Protective cap SFP module sfpp0002 Figure 12.

Hold the SFP correctly oriented towards the port as shown in Figure 14 on page 30 and Figure 15 on page 30 (for wire bale type SFPs, make sure the bale is open, in the unlocked position, as shown in 2 of Figure 15 on page 30). Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place. For the top row of ports, SFPs will be oriented as shown. To install SFPs in the bottom row of ports, orient the SFPs with the plastic tab or wire bale on the top. Chapter 4. Monitoring and maintaining the SANB16-2 29

Installing
an
SFP
If
your
switch
did
not
come
with
installed
SFPs,
or
you
are
replacing
older
ones,
follow
the
instructions
below
to
install
your
SFPs.
Note:
SFPs
are
keyed
so
that
they
can
be
inserted
only
in
the
correct
orientation.
The
ports
in
the
top
row
the
switch
are
oriented
in
one
direction,
and
the
lower
row
of
ports
are
oriented
in
the
opposite
direction.
If
an
SFP
does
not
install
easily,
ensure
that
it
is
oriented
and
aligned
correctly,
and
that
the
port
is
not
blocked
by
a
protective
cap
or
other
object.
1.
Remove
the
protective
cap
(if
any)
from
the
switch
port.
Save
the
cap
for
future
use.
2.
Remove
the
SFP
from
its
static-protective
package.
3.
Remove
the
protective
cap
from
the
SFP
module,
as
shown
in
Figure
12
and
Figure
13.
Save
the
cap
for
future
use.
4.
Hold
the
SFP
correctly
oriented
towards
the
port
as
shown
in
Figure
14
on
page
30
and
Figure
15
on
page
30
(for
wire
bale
type
SFPs,
make
sure
the
bale
is
open,
in
the
unlocked
position,
as
shown
in
±2²
of
Figure
15
on
page
30).
Slide
the
SFP
into
the
port
until
you
feel
it
click
into
place.
For
the
top
row
of
ports,
SFPs
will
be
oriented
as
shown.
To
install
SFPs
in
the
bottom
row
of
ports,
orient
the
SFPs
with
the
plastic
