NOTICE
Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to
prevent an electrostatic discharge (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing
an ESD-preventive wrist trap connected to either the chassis ground connector
or a bare metal surface on the router/switch.
Disconnect the cable from the port and install the dust cap to the cable end.
Squeeze the latches on either side of the port and pull it from the socket.
