Installing an MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Transceiver
To install an SFP or XFP:
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
2. Take each transceiver to be installed out of its electrostatic bag, and identify the slot
on the component where it will be installed.
3. Verify that each transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the
transceiver with a safety cap.
4. Carefully align the transceiver with the slots in the component. The connectors should
face the component.
