Camera Link Range Extender over Fiber User Manual 125.1.2 Installing and Removing SFP+ ModulesThe purpose of this section is to demonstrate how to install SFP+ transceiver module, attachan optical network cable and remove an SFP+ transceiver module. It is necessary tounderstand the correct way of installing and removing an SFP+ transceiver, as correctoperation can protect the module from being damaged and ensure its stable performance.Before removing or installing an SFP+ module, please follow the precautions andinstallation instructions.5.1.3 Precautions1. Use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.2. Make sure there is no dust or any other foreign matter inside the SFP+ module, orblocking any of the connectors.3. Clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before plugging them into the optical ports ofan SFP+ module.4. Removing and inserting a module can shorten its useful life, so you should not removeand insert the module any more often than is absolutely necessary.5. Insert the clean dust covers into the module after the cables are removed. Do not removethe dust plug until you are ready to attach the network interface cable.6. Do not install or remove the SFP+ module with fiber-optic cables attached to it becauseof the potential of damaging the cable, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces inthe module.7. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing a module.8. Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or a static shielding bag if you plan toreturn it to the factory.9. Protect the line card by inserting clean module cage covers into the optical module cagewhen there is no module installed.10. Keep the protective dust plugs installed in the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectorsand in the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.Installation and Configuration
