Cisco Systems WSC2960S24TSSRF User Manual

When installing SFP or SFP+ modules, observe these guidelines:

Do not remove the dust plugs from the modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until 
you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from 
contamination and ambient light.

Removing and installing an SFP or SFP+ module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and 
insert any module more often than is absolutely necessary.

To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when 
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.

Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.

On some SFP or SFP+ modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows 
that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position. 

Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.

For fiber-optic SFP or SFP+ modules, remove the dust plugs and save.

Connect the SFP cables.

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.

Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send 
(TX) and which is receive (RX).
