Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Removing SFP Modules
Complete the following steps to remove an SFP module from a module receptacle:
Step1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step2 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).
Step3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure3-20.
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.

Step4 Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the
module slot.
Step5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the
optical interfaces clean.
Step6 Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or any other protective casing.
