how to install Accortec SFP (mini-GBIC) Module

• Power considerations: If your equipment supports hot-swapping, you can install the module with the device powered on. If you’re unsure, power down the device following your organization’s maintenance policies before installing.
• Prepare the slot: Remove any protective dust caps from the SFP slot and the transceiver, and inspect the slot for any debris to avoid contamination of connectors.
• Align and insert: Grasp the Accortec SFP module by its edges and align it with the SFP slot. Gently slide the module straight into the slot until it is firmly seated and a click is felt indicating it is locked in place.
• Secure fiber connection: Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the module’s connector, ensuring that the cable is fully seated and secured to prevent accidental disconnection or cable stress.
• Verify operation: Power up the device if you powered it down, then use the device’s management interface to verify the link status. Check for a green link indicator and confirm that the port negotiates at the expected speed. If multiple devices or links are involved, perform a basic connectivity test between endpoints to ensure data can flow correctly.
