Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP or 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 or SFP+ module to keep the optical interfaces clean.

cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the latch.
Step 5 Grasp the SFP or SFP+ module, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 6
Place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
