How to install Accortec SFP+ Module

• Power down the host device only if required by your maintenance policy; otherwise, verify that hot-swap procedures are permitted for your equipment before insertion.
• Remove the dust cap from the SFP+ port on the switch or router and inspect the area for any debris that could affect the connector seating.
• Align the Accortec SFP+ Module with the port and slide it into the slot until the module is seated and the retention latch engages with a click.
• Attach your fiber optic cable to the LC duplex connector, ensuring correct polarity and that the fiber type (MMF or SMF) matches the SKU’s specifications.
• Power on the device (if required) and verify link status via the management interface. Use the built-in diagnostics (DDM) to confirm optical power levels, temperature, and voltage are within expected ranges.
