direction of the connection.
Step 3 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4 Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
Step 5 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.
Step 6 For fiber-optic SFP or SFP+ modules, remove the dust plugs and save.
Step 7 Connect the SFP cables.

Removing an SFP or SFP+ Module
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 and you
cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open 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.
