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
