HOW TO INSTALL HPE 25G SFP28 LC LR 10km SMF Transceiver

• Prepare your network device: Confirm that your switch, router, or server port supports 25G SFP28 optics and that the chassis or device slot is compatible with SFP28 LR transceivers.
• Power-down or prepare for hot-swapping: If your equipment supports hot-swapping, you can replace or install the transceiver without powering down the chassis per vendor guidelines; otherwise, power down following standard maintenance procedures.
• Insert the transceiver: Gently align the SFP28 module with the slot, slide it into the port until it clicks into place, and ensure the connector faces the correct orientation for LC duplex fiber connections.
• Connect the fiber: Use a proper LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cord (9/125 μm) with correct polarity to the transceiver and its link partner. Ensure the connector is clean and seated securely in both ends.
• Verify link and performance: Power up the device and check link status through the management interface. Validate 25 Gbps throughput, verify the 10 km reach, and monitor link health indicators and any SFP diagnostics (DDM/DOM) if available.
