Removing the SFP Module

SFP modules use various latch designs to secure the SFP modules in the SFP ports. The following list includes the different module design types:

•Mylar Tab Module

•Actuator/Button SFP Module

•Bale-Clasp SFP Module

•Plastic Collar Module

Note Latch designs are not linked to SFP model or technology types. For information about SFP models and technology types, see the label on the side of your SFP.

To remove the SFP module, perform the following steps.

Detailed Steps

Step 1 Disconnect all cables from the SFP.

Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 70

Caution Do not pull on the cabling in an attempt to remove the SFP.

Step 2 Disconnect your particular SFP latch, as shown in Figure 4-15.
