Inserting and Removing the SFP Module Patch Cable

Removing SFP Modules

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.

Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module.

Step 4 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject it. If the latch is obstructed and you cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument.

Step 5 Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the slot.

Step 6 Place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
