REPLACING SFP+ MODULES
This section describes how to replace an SFP+ module on an FXT 5000 Series node.
Note:
This procedure applies to Avere FXT 5000 Series models only. Other Avere FXT nodes might use slightly
different SFP+ modules, and the modules can be installed in a different orientation, so it is important to follow in-
structions that are specific to the model being serviced.
Before replacing an SFP+ module, read
(page 7).
6.1 Accessing SFP+ Modules
Because the FXT 5000 Series are 1U servers, there is little clearance between the SFP+ module handle and the edge
of the server case. It can be awkward to unlatch and remove the SFP+ modules or the fiber optic cables connected to
them.
A flat-head screwdriver might be needed to unlatch the SFP+ module. Other convenient implements that are hard and
relatively flat may be used - a key, pen cap, or credit card might be useful. Take care not to use excessive force on the
modules or their latching handles.
6.2 Removing an SFP+ Module
To remove an SFP+ module:
1. Extend the module’s release handle outward. (The handle swings up from the bottom of the installed module.)
The handle serves as a release mechanism; it must be fully extended to unlock the SFP+ module from its
adapter card.
2. Gently pull on the release handle. The module should slide out of the card. If the module is not removable,
check that the release handle is fully extended.
