Removing a copper or fiber optic module

You can remove a copper or fiber SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+ transceiver from a slot while the Brocade
ICX 6650 is powered on and running.
While removing a copper or fiber optic module, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that
can be inserted in the ESD connector on the Brocade ICX 6650.
CAUTION
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
To remove a copper or fiber optic module from an SFP slot, do the following.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface
(such as an equipment rack).
2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3. Unlock the copper or fiber optic module by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front
panel of the module.
On 1000BaseSX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000BaseLX ports,
the bail latch is enclosed in a blue sleeve.
