Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top of the SFP module.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be shown by arrows that show the
direction of the connection.
Step 3 If the SFP 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 to lock the SFP module in place.
Step 6 Remove the SFP dust plugs and save.
Step 7 Connect the SFP cables.

Removing SFP and SFP+ Modules
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP/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/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 you cannot use your
finger to open the latch, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open it.
Step 5 Grasp the SFP/SFP+ module, and carefully remove it from the slot.
Step 6 Place the SFP/SFP+ module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
