The SFP transceiver should slide out easily.

Performing Spot Checks

At frequent intervals, you should visually check the
Switch. Regular checks can give you an early warning
of a possible failure; any problems can then be
attended to when there will be least effect on users.
3Com recommends periodically checking the items
listed in Table 5.
