Removing and Replacing an SFP Module

Removing and Replacing an SFP Module

Your HHGE line card is shipped with an SFP module installed. Use the procedures in this section if you need to change the SFP module:

•Removing an SFP Module, page 5-56

•Inserting an SFP Module, page 5-58

Use only SFP modules supplied by Cisco with your HHGE line card. Each SFP module contains an internal serial EEPROM that is security-programmed by the SFP manufacturer with information that provides a way for Cisco (through Cisco IOS software) to identify and validate the SFP module as a module type that is tested and qualified by Cisco to operate properly with your line card. Unapproved SFP modules (those not purchased directly from Cisco) do not work with the HHGE line card.

Types of SFP Modules

SFP modules from different manufacturers provide different methods for freeing the locking pin and removing the SFP module. Figure 5-50shows two available module types.

•Mylar Tab SFP—Pulling the mylar tab simultaneously releases the locking pin and pulls the SFP module out of its receptacle.

•Bale Clasp SFP—Opening the bale clasp releases the locking pin so you can remove the SFP module from its receptacle.

Removing an SFP Module

Use the following procedure to remove an SFP module from the HHGE line card.

Note You can remove an SFP module while the system is powered on, but the interface shuts down.

Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
