SFP transceiver removal and replacement
Use the following procedure to remove and replace an SFP or SFP+ transceiver.
DANGER
All ber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
DANGER
Laser Radiation. Do Not View Directly with Optical Instruments. Class 1M Laser Products.
Time and items required
The replacement procedure for one transceiver takes less than 5 minutes. You should have the following items available:
• Replacement SFP or SFP+ transceiver
• Optical transceiver extraction tool
Most Extreme Networks devices and backbones come with an optical transceiver extraction tool (Figure 54) and holster. The extraction
tool is designed to remove transceivers from modules where the space is limited.
