Removing SFP or SFP+ Transceiver Modules

Note For removing SFP or SFP+ modules from the modular port card, see the
from the Modular Port Card
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 transceiver 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 transceiver 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 transceiver module, and carefully remove it from the slot.
Step 6 Place the SFP transceiver module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.

Verifying Switch Chassis Installation

Procedure
Step 1 Verify that all empty module slots have blank faceplates installed and that the screws holding the plates in
place are tight. The blank faceplates optimize the air flow through the chassis and contain electromagnetic
interference.
Warning
Step 2 Ensure that the unused power supply unit has a metal cover plate installed.
Step 3
Turn on the power supply switches to power up the system. During the power-up sequence, the system performs
a series of bootup diagnostic tests.
Additional system diagnostic tests are available. These tests allow you to perform a complete sanity check on
the system prior to inserting the system into your network and to monitor the health of the system while the
system is running. Refer to the "Online Diagnostics" section on page 3-19 for further information.

section.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference
(EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the
chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are
in place. Statement 1029
When prestaging systems in a nonproduction environment, we recommend that you run all diagnostic
tests, including the disruptive tests, to prescreen the systems for any failures.
