How to install Accortec SFP+ Module

Installing the Accortec SFP+ Module is straightforward and designed for minimal downtime. Follow these simple steps to ensure a clean, reliable integration into your network equipment.

• Power down the device or ensure the slot supports hot-swapping before insertion. If your equipment supports hot-swapping, you can replace or insert the module without powering down the entire chassis, but always follow your vendor’s recommended procedures.
• Remove the existing transceiver (if upgrading) by gently unlocking the SFP+ latch and pulling the module straight out from the slot. Avoid wiggling or applying lateral pressure to prevent damage to the connector or board.
• Align the Accortec SFP+ Module with the slot orientation, ensuring the chamfered edge and pins align with the connector. Slide the module firmly but carefully into the slot until it seats with a click, and ensure the latch is engaged to secure the module.
• Connect the multimode fiber cable to the LC duplex connector, ensuring correct polarity and clean termination. Use a microfiber cleaning kit for the fiber endfaces before connection to minimize insertion loss and reflections.
• Power on the device (or observe post-insertion status). Use the management interface or LED indicators to verify link status. If available, enable and monitor Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) data to confirm optimal transmit and receive power, temperature, and overall health of the link.
