Remove SFP Modules
Follow these steps to remove an SFP module when it is necessary.
Procedure
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 5
For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical
interfaces clean.
Step 6
Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
