Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light. Store the dust plugs for later use.
Caution
Step 5 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:
• For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC cable into the SFP module.
• For copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.
