How to install Accortec SFP (mini-GBIC) Module

• Prepare the device: Power down the host switch, router, or NIC if required by your maintenance policy. In many cases, you can perform a hot-swap, but verify your equipment’s guidelines before proceeding.
• Identify the correct slot: Locate an available SFP port on your device that supports SFP transceivers. Ensure the slot is clean and free of dust before installation.
• Remove the existing module (if upgrading): If you’re replacing an older transceiver, carefully eject it from the SFP slot according to the device’s procedure, then prepare the new Accortec SFP for insertion.
• Insert the SFP module: Align the Accortec SFP with the slot and slide it in firmly until you hear or feel a click indicating the latch has engaged. Do not force the module; if it doesn’t seat cleanly, remove and reinsert gently.
• Connect the fiber: Attach the LC duplex fiber optic cable to the module’s LC connectors, ensuring correct fiber polarity (TX to RX). Hand-tighten to avoid damaging the connectors.
• Power and verify: Power on the device (if you powered down) and observe the port status. Confirm link activity via the port LEDs or the device’s management interface, and run a basic connectivity test to verify data transmission.
