3. With the SFP+ module latch in the unlocked position, remove the SFP+ module. For SFP+ modules
that contain wire tabs, grasp the wire latch and pull the SFP+ module out of the port.
4. Replace the protective cap on the SFP+ module and the host port.
5. Place the SFP+ module into a static-protective package.
Installing SFP+ Modules
To install SFP+ modules:
1. If all the FC IN ports have an SFP+ module installed, go to step 5.
2. Remove the SFP+ module from the static protective package.
3. Remove the protective cap from the SFP+ module and SFP+ port.
NOTE: Store the protective caps for future use.
4. Insert the SFP+ module into the host port until it clicks into place.
5. Connect an FC cable.

Guidelines for Using Fiber Optic Cables
• Do not route the cable along a folding cable management arm.
• For devices on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cables so they do not bend to a diameter of less
than 76 mm (3"), or a radius less than 38 mm (1.5"), when extended or become pinched when
retracted.
• Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in the rack cabinet.
• Do not use plastic cable ties in place of the provided cable straps.
• Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a diameter of less than 76 mm (3") or a
radius less than 38 mm (1.5").
• Do not place excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Ensure that the cable is supported.
Removing Fibre Channel Cables
1. Press and hold the lever to release the latches before removing the cable from the SFP+ module.
Ensure that the levers are in the released position when removing the cable. Do not grasp the SFP+
module plastic tab when removing the cable.
2. On the end of the cable that connects into the SFP+ module or HBA, press down and hold the lever
to release the latches.
3. While pressing down the cable lever, pull the connector to remove the cable from the SFP+ module.
4. Replace the protective caps on the cable ends.
5. Replace the protective cap on the SFP+ module.
Installing Fibre Channel Cables
WARNING: Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links
with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. Never look into the end of
an optical fiber cable or open receptacle.
