Removing a fiber optic module
You can remove a fiber SFP+ (also called a Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) or an SFP from a port
while the TurboIron 24X is powered on and running.
Before removing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the TurboIron 24X.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
• The protective covering that you removed from the fiber optic module when you initially
installed the module.
Follow the steps to remove a fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface
(such as an equipment rack).
2. Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3. Insert the protective covering into the port connector or connectors.
4. Pull the fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the latch forward, away from the front
panel of the module as shown in Figure 12 . This unlocks the module from the front panel. On
1000BaseSX ports, the latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000BaseLX ports, the bail
latch is enclosed in a blue sleeve.
