Installing an SFP Module
Removing an SFP or SFP+ Module
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 or 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 latch is
obstructed and you cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow
instrument to open the latch.
Step 5
Grasp the SFP or SFP+ module, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 6
Place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
Connecting to SFP and SFP+ Modules
For instructions on how to connect to fiber-optic SFP modules, see the
“Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP
section. For instructions on how to connect to copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules,
see the
“Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP”
section.

Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP and SFP+ Modules
Caution
Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP or SFP+ module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
