Installing a Network Module
Removing SFP and SFP+ Modules
Procedure
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
Step 2
Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX)
and which is receive (RX).
Step 3
Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 4
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If you cannot use your
finger to open the latch, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open it.
Step 5
Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the slot.
Step 6
Place the SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
