Step 2 Remove the antenna end cap by using a 3/8-in. wrench to loosen the bolts.
Step 3 Disconnect the LC from the SFP module.
Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 6 Pull the bale-clasp latch 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 7 Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the module
slot.
Step 8 Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
Caution Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP
module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
