Replacing an SFP on a host port expansion chassis
Install the same type of SFP as the one being replaced. The color of the lever
or the entire SFP identifies the SFP type:
• Shortwave SFPs are black.
• Longwave SFPs are blue.
Before you begin
• Wear a wrist strap connected to the storage system to prevent part
failures caused by static electricity. Do not remove the wrist strap until you
finish the procedure.
• Confirm that the storage system power is turned on.
• The red PORT LED is on at the front end module whose SFP will be
replaced.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the optical fiber cable from the SFP to be replaced.
2. Pull the SFP lever down toward you and pull out the SFP. If you cannot
remove the SFP, pull it out while pushing open the lever toward you.
3. Check the SFP insertion direction and insert the SFP into the port until it
clicks.
Note: Replace the SFP with the same type being removed.
