Removing and Installing SFP Modules
Removing a Bale Clasp SFP Module
To remove this type of SFP module, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports; note the current connections of the cables to
the ports on the line card.
Step 3 Open the bale clasp on the SFP module with your index finger in a downward direction, as shown in
Figure 18. If the bale clasp 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.
Step 4 Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger and carefully remove it from the port, as
shown in Figure 18.
