Removing a copper or fiber optic module

You can remove a copper or fiber 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:
v An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the
v The protective covering that you removed from the copper or fiber optic module
To remove a copper or fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit
Ethernet port, do the following:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the
2. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.
3. Pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch
