Chapter 4 Installing and Removing SFCs, RPs, MSCs, PLIMs, and Associated Components

How to Install or Remove a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Module

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools to perform this task:

ESD-preventive wrist strap

Small flat-blade screwdriver

Steps

To remove a bale-clasp SFP module from a PLIM, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports. Be sure to note the current connections of the cables to the ports on the PLIM.

Step 3 Open the bale-clasp on the module with your index finger in a downward direction (see Figure 4-35). If the bale-clasp is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp.

Step 4 Grasp the module between your thumb and index finger and carefully remove it from the port (see Figure 4-35).

Note Be careful to hold the module in such a way so as to not damage the bale-clasp.
