How to install StarTech.com HPE J9151E Compatible SFP+ Module

Follow these simple steps to add 10GbE LR connectivity to your HPE switch or router:

Step 1: Power down the networking device or place it into a maintenance window before removing or inserting the transceiver to avoid unexpected link interruptions.

Step 2: Remove the existing SFP+ module if necessary, then align the StarTech.com SFP+ LR module with the slot and gently but firmly seat it into place until it clicks and is firmly seated.

Step 3: Attach the single-mode fiber optic cable to the LC duplex connectors, ensuring the connectors are clean and free of dust. Secure the fiber to prevent movement and avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius.

Step 4: Reconnect power and boot the device. Check the switch or router management interface and verify that the SFP+ link is detected and that the 10GbE interface is up and running.

Step 5: If required, configure the port for 10GBASE-LR operation and verify performance with a speed test, ensuring that latency, jitter, and throughput meet your network requirements.
