Installing and Removing the SFP Modules
Step 2 Remove the optical port plug, and then connect the network cable to the SFP module.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to your network.
Removing the SFP Module
SFP modules use various latch designs to secure the SFP modules in the SFP ports. The following list
includes the different module design types:
• Mylar Tab Module
• Actuator/Button SFP Module
• Bale-Clasp SFP Module
• Plastic Collar Module
Note Latch designs are not linked to SFP model or technology types. For information about SFP models and
technology types, see the label on the side of your SFP.
To remove the SFP module, perform the following steps.
Detailed Steps
Step 1 Disconnect all cables from the SFP.
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Statement 70
Caution Do not pull on the cabling in an attempt to remove the SFP.
Step 2 Disconnect your particular SFP latch, as shown in Figure 4-15.
