How to Install or Remove a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Module
Figure 4-38 Bale-Clasp SFP Module
Prerequisites
Before removing a module, disconnect any connected interface cables.
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools to perform this task:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• Small flat-blade screwdriver
Steps
To remove a bale clasp SFP module (from a PLIM), follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to an ESD connection socket
on the front (PLIM) side or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports. Be sure to note the current connections of the
cables to the ports on the PLIM.
Step 3 Open the bale clasp on the module with your index finger in a downward direction (see Figure 4-39). If
the bale clasp is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small screwdriver or
other long, narrow instrument to open the bale clasp.
Step 4 Grasp the module between your thumb and index finger and carefully remove it from the port (see
Figure 4-39).
Note Be careful to hold the module in such a way so as to not damage the bale clasp.
