Removing an SFP Module

To remove an SFP module from a module slot, follow these steps:

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 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 module to keep the optical interfaces clean.

Step 4 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp

latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver

or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

Step 5 Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the module slot.

Step 6 Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.

Caution Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store high levels of static electricity. Always ground the cables

to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the switch or other devices.
