Inserting and Removing SFP Modules
SFP Modules are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD), it is recommended to attach an ESD preventative wrist strap to your wrist and to
a bare metal surface when you install or remove an SFP Module.
Disconnect all optical or copper cables from SFP Modules prior to installing or removing
the SFP Module. Failure to do so could result in damage to the cable, cable connector or
the SFP Module itself. Removing and inserting an SFP Module can shorten its useful
life, so you should not remove and insert SFP Modules any more often than is absolutely
necessary.
Protect optical SFP modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are
removed. Be sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them
back into the optical ports of another SFP module. Avoid getting dust and other contam-
inants into the optical ports of your SFP modules, because the optics will not work cor-
rectly when obstructed with dust.
