Removing a Slide Tab SFP Module
To remove this type of SFP module, follow these steps:
Step1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step2 Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports; note the current connections of the cables to
the ports on the line card.
Step3 Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger.
Step4 With your thumb, push the slide tab on the bottom front of the SFP module in the direction of the line
card to disengage the module from the line card port. (See Figure27.)
Figure27 Disengaging the Slide Tab
Step5 With the tab still pushed, carefully pull the SFP module from the port as shown in Figure28.
Caution You must disengage the SFP module by pushing on the slide tab before you can pull out the SFP module.
If you pull on the SFP module without disengaging the tab, you can damage the SFP module.
