Removing an SFP module and fibre channel cable

1.Remove the fibre-optic cable from the SFP module; then, replace the protective caps on the cable connector.

Attention: Do not grasp the plastic tab that is part of the SFP module while disconnecting the fibre-optic cable. Pulling the SFP module plastic tab while disconnecting the fibre-optic cable might damage the SFP module.

2.For SFPs with plastic tabs, pull the SFP module plastic tab outward at a 10° angle while you remove the SFP module. The plastic tab releases the SFP module latch.
