Associated Equipment
MIL-STD- 189, entitled Racks, Electrical Equipment, 19-Inch and Associated

Install SFP Transceivers
The switch has been validated with transceivers that support a variety of
interconnection media. To install, insert the transceiver into the port and gently
press until it snaps in place. To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver
into the port to release the tension, then pull on the release tab or lever and
remove the transceiver. Different transceiver manufacturers have different release
mechanisms. Consult the documentation for your transceiver.
Note: The SFP transceiver will fit only one way. If the SFP does not install
under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
