To replace an SFP module:
1. Disconnect the fiber optic cable, if connected to the SFP transceiver module.
2. Unlock the SFP transceiver module, by pivoting the wire latch (bale clasp) so that it
moves away and down from the module, as shown in the figure below:
Figure 6-6: Unlocking the SFP Module
Note:
The SFP modules contain a locking mechanism that ensures that it can’t be
inadvertently pulled out of the socket. However, the unlocking mechanism depends on
the SFP module type.
3. Slide the module gently out of the RTM's transceiver socket, and then immediately
insert a dust plug into the transceiver socket.
4. Insert a repaired or new SFP transceiver module into the RTM's transceiver socket:
a. Remove the dust plug from the transceiver socket.
b. Ensure that the SFP module's wire latch is in lock position, as shown in the figure
below:
