Precautions
Follow these precautionary steps:
•
When selecting a fiber network facility, make sure the type of the connector and the fiber matches
the adopted fiber port.
•
Be sure to install the dust cover if the fiber port is not connected to a fiber connector.
•
Some invisible rays might be emitted from the fiber port if the fiber port is not connected to a fiber
connector or the dust cover is removed. Therefore, never stare at the fiber port directly.
•
Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it.
Installing the XFP, SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ modules
CAUTION:
Do not touch the golden finger of a transceiver module during installation.
The installation of the XFP, SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ modules is similar. This section uses an SFP+ module
as an example.
To install an SFP+ module:
1.
Remove the optical fiber if the SPF+ module is installed with an optical fiber.
2.
Put on an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it has close skin contact, and is correctly grounded.
3.
Unpack the SFP+ module and make sure the clasp is closed.
4.
Gently insert the SFP+ module into the port until it fits in completely, as shown in
.

IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the dust plug of the SFP+ module port before installing an optical fiber.
