Removing an SFP or SFP+ Module
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP or SFP+ module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is
send (TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP or SFP+ module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 4 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the latch is obstructed

the latch.
Step 5 Grasp the SFP or SFP+ module, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 6 Place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
