Inserting and Removing the SFP Module Patch Cable
Removing SFP Modules
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send
(TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module.
Step 4 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject it. If the latch is obstructed and
you cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument.
Step 5 Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the slot.
Step 6 Place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
