Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Step 6 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:
• For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.
• For copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.
Note When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair,
Category5cable.
Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots
To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.
Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 2-21.
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp
latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver
or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

Step 4
Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the
module slot.
Step 5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the
optical interfaces clean.
Step 6 Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
