Inserting and removing SFP GBIC and CWDM SFP GBIC
modules
SFP modules are sensitive to static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing
or other fixtures around you, even at levels that do not create a spark, can cause
damage.
For instructions on inserting and removing SFP GBIC and CWDM SFP GBIC
modules, see the installation manual that came with your module.

Inserting and removing an SFP GBIC fiber optic cable

The SFP module fiber optic cable connectors have two small tabs, similar to the
tabs on copper Category 5 Ethernet cable or a telephone cable connector. This tab
retains the connector in the SFP module, so that it cannot accidentally be pulled
out, thus losing the link.

Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can
injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port.
Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. To prevent
static discharge damage when you work with Passport Series 1600
switch modules, place each module on a grounded antistatic mat until
you are ready to install it or leave the module in the sealed ESD bag.
Also, be sure to wear a discharge leash or wrist strap to free yourself of
static before you touch a module.
