Preparing to Install a Pluggable Transceiver

Before installing a pluggable transceiver in your SSA switch, follow these steps:

  1. Put on the antistatic wrist strap, shipped with the switch, and attach it to the ground receptacle on the switch I/O port side of the SSA switch.
    Refer to the instructions in the anti-static wrist strap package. See SSA Switch Ground Receptacle for the location of the ground receptacle.

  2. Remove the pluggable transceiver from the anti-static packaging.
    If there is a protective dust cover on the pluggable transceiver, do not remove it at this time.
