Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots
To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the
chassis.
2. Disconnect the cable from the SFP module.
3. For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module
to keep the optical interfaces clean.
4. Unlock and remove the SFP module.
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, open the latch to eject the module.
