Replacing a copper or fiber optic module
You can remove an SFP, SFP + or XFP from a port and replace it with a new one while the chassis is
powered on and running.
This section provides information about the following tasks:
• Removing a copper or fiber optic module
• Installing a new copper or fiber optic module
• Cabling a fiber optic module
Removing a copper or fiber optic module
You can remove a copper or fiber SFP (also called a mini-GBIC), SFP + or an XFP from a port while the
chassis is powered on and running.
Before removing a copper or fiber optic module, have the following on hand:
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
• The protective covering that you removed from the copper or fiber optic module when you initially
installed the module.
To remove a copper or fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, perform
the following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the lower right corner of the chassis front.
2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connectors from the port connectors.
3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.
4. Pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the
front panel of the module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.
