Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.

On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be shown by arrows that show the
direction of the connection.
Step 3
If the SFP module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4
Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
