How to install Lenovo SFP+ Module

• Power down the device (switch, router, or server) before installation to avoid ESD or damage to the port.
• Insert the Lenovo SFP+ Module into an available SFP+ slot until it seats firmly with a gentle, even push. Do not force the module; if it does not seat smoothly, remove and reinsert to ensure alignment.
• Connect the optical fiber cable to the LC connector of the module, ensuring the fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) matches the link requirements and that the fiber is clean and undamaged.
• Secure the fiber legs to prevent movement and verify proper routing to prevent strain on the connectors. Power on the device and monitor the link status through the management interface or CLI.
• Validate link speed and performance: run basic connectivity tests, confirm the port shows as up, and verify data throughput aligns with expected capacity. If any alarms or errors appear, reseat the module or inspect the fiber connection for cleanliness and integrity.
