2. Holding the cable by its connector, align the cable end with the SFP module,
and push it into the SFP (see Figure 18) until the connector clicks in place .
Removing SFP modules
In some cases you might need to remove an SFP module, either because it is no
longer needed or because you must replace it. If fiber-optic cables are installed,
they must be removed before you can remove the SFP module.
Note: In the illustrations below, the SFPs and cables are shown outside of the
switch’s ports for clarity, and are not oriented in the direction that they are
installed in the switch.
