Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots

To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2

Disconnect the cable from the SFP module.

Tip

For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 3

For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the
optical interfaces clean.

Step 4

Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in

Figure 2-8

.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp
latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver
or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.
