SFPs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. Removing an SFP does not interrupt PIC
functioning, but the removed SFP no longer receives or transmits data. To replace
an SFP, perform the following procedures:

Removing an SFP

WARNING: Do not look directly into transceivers or into the ends of fiber-optic cables
connected to a transceiver. Fiber-optic transceivers emit laser light that can damage
your eyes.
CAUTION: When handling fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable, observe the
following precautions:
To remove an SFP, follow this procedure (see
on page 105

on page 106
Installing an SFP
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or
removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
Do not bend fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller
than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.
Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened
loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
