Bale Clasp SFP or SFP+ Module

The bale clasp SFP or SFP+ module has a clasp that you use to remove or install the module. (See the figure
below.)
Protect the SFP or SFP+ modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are removed. Be
sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of another
module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of your SFP or SFP+ modules,
because the optics do not work correctly when obstructed by dust.
We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove the SFP or SFP+ module with fiber-optic cables
attached to it because of the potential of damaging the cable, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in
the module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP or SFP+ module. Removing and
inserting a module can shorten its useful life; so you should not remove and insert modules more than it is
absolutely necessary.
When installing an SFP or SFP+ module, you would hear a click as the triangular pin on the bottom of the
module snaps into position into the hole in the receptacle. The click indicates that the module is correctly
seated and secured in the receptacle. Verify that the modules are completely seated and secured in their
assigned receptacles on the line card by firmly pushing on each SFP or SFP+ module.
