Install an SFP+ Transceiver Module

Use the following procedure to install an SFP+ transceiver module into a storage controller.

About this task

Read the following cautions and information before installing an SFP+ transceiver module.

NOTE: To reduce the risk of injury from laser radiation or damage to the equipment, take the following precautions:

  • Do not open any panels, operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures to a laser device other than those specified in this document.
  • Do not stare into the laser beam.

CAUTION: Transceiver modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage to the transceiver module, take the following precautions:

  • Wear an antistatic discharge strap while handling transceiver modules.
  • Place transceiver modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing them.

Steps

  1. Position the transceiver module so that the key is oriented correctly to the port in the storage controller.

    2. Fiber-optic cable connector

  2. Insert the transceiver module into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
    The transceiver modules are keyed so that they can be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver module does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

    CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment, do not use excessive force when inserting the transceiver module.

  3. Position the fiber-optic cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver module.

    CAUTION: Touching the end of a fiber-optic cable damages the cable. Whenever a fiber-optic cable is not connected, replace the protective covers on the ends of the cable.

  4. Insert the fiber-optic cable into the transceiver module until the latching mechanism clicks.
