Introduction
SFP modules, small form-factor pluggable modules, also known as mini-GBICs, are hot-swappable Gigabit
Ethernet optical transceivers. SFP+ modules, small form-factor pluggable modules, are hot-swappable 10 Gigabit
Ethernet optical transceivers.
SFP-TX: conforms to 1000Base-T copper wiring Gigabit Ethernet standard
SFP-SX: conforms to 1000Base-SX fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard
SFP-LX: conforms to 1000Base-LX fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard
SFP-10GE-SR: conforms to 10GEBase-SR fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard
SFP-10GE-LR: conforms to 10GEBase-LR fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard
SFP-10GE-LRM: conforms to 10GEBase-LRM fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard

SFP/SFP+ Installation
To install an SFP/SFP+ module:
1. Use standard ESD precautions when installing the module.
2. Slide the module into a 1000Base-X port for SFP or a 10GBase-X port for SFP+ of the controller until a
connection is made and an audible click is heard.
3. Lock the module in place by moving the latch on the module to an upright position, facing the top of the
module.
LC Fiber Optic Cable Connection
To connect an LC fiber optic cable into an SFP-SX , SFP-LX, or SFP+ module:
1. Insert the fiber optic cable into the module. Ensure that the latch on the cable faces the top of the module.
2. Slide the cable into place until a connection is made and an audible click is heard.
To disconnect an LC fiber optic cable from the module:
1. Depress to release the latch on the cable and simultaneously pull the cable out of the port.
SFP/SFP+ Removal
To remove an SFP/SFP+ module:
1. Use standard ESD precautions when removing the module.
2. Open and release the latch on the module.
3. Pull and remove the module from the port.
