How to Install Accortec SFP (mini-GBIC) Module

• Power down is not required for most modern switches and routers, but verify your device’s hot‑swap policy and maintenance guidelines before installation.
• Identify a vacant SFP port that supports 1000Base‑DWDM or Gigabit Ethernet, and ensure the device firmware is up to date to guarantee DWDM compatibility.
• Carefully align the Accortec SFP module with the slot, making sure the notch on the module faces the connector inside the bay to avoid damage.
• Gently insert the module into the SFP port until it seats with a distinct click, then secure any protective covers or latches as provided by the equipment.
• Connect the fiber optic patch cords using LC duplex cleanly and securely; verify the fiber type is single‑mode and the cables are clean and undamaged.
• Power on the device (if required) and check link LEDs on both the transceiver and the switch/router port; verify that the 1 Gbps link is established and stable.
