Removing a copper or fiber optic module
You can remove a copper or fiber SFP (also called a mini-GBIC) from a slot while the FastIron CX is
powered on and running.
While removing a copper or fiber optic module, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for
connection to the ESD connector on the FastIron CX.
CAUTION
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
To remove a copper or fiber optic module from an SFP slot, do the following.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such
as an equipment rack).
2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3. Unlock the copper or fiber optic module by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel
of the module.
On 1000BaseSX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000BaseLX ports, the
bail latch is enclosed in a blue sleeve.
