CAUTION: For port redundancy to operate correctly, both the primary and redundant
ports on a GE I/O module must use the same type of SFP.

Replacing SFPs on I/O Modules
Identify the release mechanism for the SFP.
Different SFPs use different release mechanisms. (See Figure 40 on page 86.)
Possible release mechanisms include:
A button that you press inward
A ring that you press inward
A bar that you pull sideways, then outward
A tab that you pull sideways, then outward
Release the SFP and pull it out of the slot.
Place the SFP in an antistatic bag.
If you are using the redundant port on the GE I/O module, repeat Steps 3–6 for
the other SFP.
Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD
grounding jack on your system.
Identify the following items on the SFP, as shown in Figure 41 on page 87:
The connection circuitry on the base
The cable connectors on the front
The cable connectors are protected by a dust cover.
