3. Flip down the extractor bail.

4.Grasp the extractor bail and gently but firmly pull to remove the SFP module.

5.Insert the replacement SFP module into the empty slot, and using the extractor bail, gently but firmly push until fully seated.

NOTE: Be sure to replace with the same type of SFP, unless there is no software configuration present for the port in question.

6.Flip the extractor bail to the upright position.

7.Remove the SFP dust plug from the SFP module, and if necessary, remove the dust plugs from the fiber optic cable’s duplex connector.

NOTE: Depending on the type of SFP module, steps 5 and 6 may need to be reversed. The bail on some SFP modules cannot be moved with the dust plug installed.

8. Reconnect the optical cabling to the SFP.

Removing/Installing Cards

The EdgeFLEX 600 cards (SCPX, service modules, Management card, and DC PSUs) are hot-swappable and may be removed or inserted while the unit is fully powered.

NOTE: Blank faceplates covering empty positions in the EdgeFLEX 600 chassis do not have ejector latches, and may be removed simply by unscrewing their two captive thumbscrews.

CAUTION! THE EDGEFLEX 600 IS DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED WITH EITHER A CARD OR BLANK FACEPLATE IN EVERY FRONT-PANEL POSITION. OPERATING THE EDGEFLEX 600 WITH UNCOVERED SLOTS WILL INTERFERE WITH THE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE CHASSIS AND IMPAIR SYSTEM COOLING.
