Prerequisites

Before removing a module, disconnect any connected interface cables.

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 an ESD connection socket on the front (PLIM) side 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 4-39). 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 4-39).

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