How to Install or Remove a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Module
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools to perform this task:
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
Small flat-blade screwdriver
Steps
To remove a bale clasp SFP module (from a PLIM), follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to an ESD connection socket
on the front (PLIM) side or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2
Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports. Be sure to note the current connections of the
cables to the ports on the PLIM.
Step 3
Open the bale clasp on the module with your index finger in a downward direction (see
). If
the bale clasp is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small screwdriver or
other long, narrow instrument to open the bale clasp.
Step 4
Grasp the module between your thumb and index finger and carefully remove it from the port (see
).
Note
Be careful to hold the module in such a way so as to not damage the bale clasp.
