connector out of the port.
Step 3 Place the SFP on an anti-static mat or in an electro-static bag.
Step 4 Install an SFP replacement or re-insert the plug.
Step 5 Connect the network cable or place a safety cap over the optical transceiver.
Caution: 7210 SAS-D does not use a fan for cooling and the SFPs might be
slightly hotter than usual. Avoid direct contact with the metal casing of the SFPs.
