longer needed or because you must replace it. If fiber-optic cables are installed,
they must be removed before you can remove the SFP module.
Note: In the illustrations below, the SFPs and cables are shown outside of the
switch’s ports for clarity, and are not oriented in the direction that they are
installed in the switch.
