Removing and Replacing an SFP Module

Removing and Replacing an SFP Module
Your HHGE line card is shipped with an SFP module installed. Use the procedures in this section if you
need to change the SFP module:
•
•
Use only SFP modules supplied by Cisco with your HHGE line card. Each SFP module contains an
internal serial EEPROM that is security-programmed by the SFP manufacturer with information that
provides a way for Cisco (through Cisco IOS software) to identify and validate the SFP module as a
module type that is tested and qualified by Cisco to operate properly with your line card. Unapproved
SFP modules (those not purchased directly from Cisco) do not work with the HHGE line card.

Types of SFP Modules

SFP modules from different manufacturers provide different methods for freeing the locking pin and
removing the SFP module.
