How to install StarTech.com Citrix EW3P0000557 Compatible SFP+ Module

• Power down or disable the specific link if required by your network policy, then locate the appropriate SFP+ slot on your switch, router, or network device.
• Remove the protective caps from the transceiver and the fiber connectors, ensuring the optical interfaces stay clean and free of dust.
• Align the SFP+ module with the slot and firmly seat it until the latch engages, ensuring a secure, straight installation.
• Connect the LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver and the corresponding port on the opposite device, minimizing excess bend radius and maintaining clean fiber connectors.
• Power up or re-enable the link and verify physical link status. Use your device’s management interface to confirm a stable 10 Gbps link and check for any error counters or alarms.
• If available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) in your network management software to monitor optical power, temperature, and other essential parameters in real time.
• Run basic throughput tests or IP-level connectivity checks to validate performance across the link and monitor for any degradation over time.
