Removing an SFP Module
Caution
: Be careful when removing the SFP from a device. Some SFP transceiver module temperatures may
exceed 160°F (70°C) and be too hot to touch with bare hands. Note: Do not remove and replace the SFP modules
more often than necessary; excessive SFP removing and replacing can shorten the SFPs useful life.
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector or a bare metal surface on
your chassis.
2. For future reattachment of fiber-optic cables, note which connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).
3. Remove the SFP transceiver module:
a. If the SFP transceiver module has an actuator button latch, gently press the actuator button on the front of
the SFP transceiver module until it clicks and the latch mechanism releases the SFP transceiver module from
the socket connector. Grasp the actuator button between your thumb and index finger, and carefully pull the
SFP transceiver module straight out of the module slot.
b. If the SFP transceiver module has a bail clasp latch, pull the latch out and down to eject the SFP transceiver
module from the socket connector. If the bail clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to
open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bail clasp latch. Grasp
the SFP transceiver module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the socket.
4. Replace the Dust Plug.
5. Place the removed SFP transceiver module in an antistatic bag or other protective package.
