4.
Pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of the module.
This unlocks the module from the front panel.
1.
Bail Latch
NOTE
The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.
5.
Grasping the bail latch, pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port
6.
Store the copper or fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
7.
Install a new copper or fiber optic module in the port.
Installing a new copper or fiber optic module
You can install a new copper or fiber optic module (SFP, SFP + or XFP transceiver) in a port while the chassis is powered on and running.
NOTE
Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms which are larger than the newer
parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted side by side into an interface module. Avoid using these
mini-GBICs side by side in the same module. These older modules are identified by the number PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-
XPL-00-L13-23 above the Serial Number. All newer mini-GBICs do not have this limitation.
Before installing one of these modules into the port, have the following on hand:
•
A new copper or fiber SFP, SFP + or an XFP transceiver, all of which you can order from Brocade.
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
