how to install Brocade (Formerly) E1MG-CWDM80-1370 Compatible 1000Base-CWDM SFP Transceiver (SMF, 1370nm, 80km, LC)

• Power down or place the network device in a maintenance window if your environment requires it, then locate an available SFP slot that supports hot-swapping
• Remove any existing transceiver from the target port, if applicable, and inspect the slot to ensure there is no debris or damage that could affect performance
• Align the transceiver with the connector orientation and gently slide it into the SFP port until it seats firmly with a click, confirming proper engagement
• Connect the appropriate CWDM fiber patch cable to the LC connector, ensuring correct fiber polarity and that the link path corresponds to the network design
• Power on the device (if required) and monitor the port status using the device’s management interface or hardware indicators to verify a successful link
• Run basic verification tests (link detection, throughput, and any DOM diagnostics if supported) and validate end-to-end connectivity across the CWDM path
• If the network requires it, perform any necessary configuration changes or firmware updates to ensure compatibility with the CWDM fabric and the broader network policy
