To Remove a SFP Module from the XDQA Housing
When you have read the Important Safety Instructions earlier in this guide, you are
ready to remove SFP modules from the XDQA Housing.
The following steps explain how to remove a SFP module from the XDQA Housing.
1. Unplug the power cord from the power source to turn off the device.
2. Remove the SFP module from the housing. The procedure depends on the
SFP laser module type:
•
Tab SFP module : Pull the tab of the SFP module gently until the module
disengages from the port, and then pull the SFP module out.
•
Button SFP modules : Gently press the actuator/button on the front of the
SFP module until it clicks and the latch mechanism activates, releasing the
SFP module from the port.
•
Cam latch SFP modules : Remove the rubber dust plug from the module if
present. Open the latch on the SFP module and then pull the SFP module
out.
3. Protect the Laser module by inserting a clean rubber dust plug into the
module.
