Removing a Transceiver
The transceivers for the router are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs). You
can remove and replace the transceivers without powering off the device or disrupting device functions.
NOTE: After you remove a transceiver or when you change the media-type configuration, wait for
6 seconds for the interface to display the operational commands.
Before you begin removing a transceiver from the router, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 290).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Electrostatic bag or antistatic mat
•
Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
•
Dust cover to cover the port or a replacement transceiver
Figure 116 on page 231 shows how to remove a QSFP+ transceiver. The procedure is the same for all types
of transceivers except the QSFP28 and CFP transceivers.
To remove a transceiver from the router:
Figure 116: Removing an SFP, SFP+, XFP, or a QSFP+ Transceiver
1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD wrist strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of
the strap to the ESD point on the router.
3. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect the cable correctly later.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables that are connected
to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
