Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Removing SFP Modules

Complete the following steps to remove an SFP module from a module receptacle:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis. Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.

Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is transmit (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 3-20.

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

Step 5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.

Step 6 Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or any other protective casing.
