Installing SFPs
Removing SFP Modules
Follow these steps to remove an SFP from the router:
Step 1
Read the Safety Warnings section and disconnect the power supply before you perform any module replacement.
Step 2
Disconnect all cables from the SFP.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or
view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
Warning
The latching mechanism used on many SFPs locks the SFP into place when cables are connected. Do not
pull on the cabling in an attempt to remove the SFP.
Caution
Step 3
Disconnect the SFP latch.
SFP modules use various latch designs to secure the module in the SFP port. Latch designs are not linked to
SFP model or technology type. For information on the SFP technology type and model, see the label on the side
of the SFP.
Note
Use a pen, screwdriver, or other small straight tool to gently release a bale-clasp handle if you cannot reach it
with your fingers.
Tip
Step 4
Grasp the SFP on both sides and remove it from the router.
