Replacing an SFP or XFP Transceiver on an MX2020 MPC or MIC
Small form-factor pluggables (SFPs and XFPs) are optical transceivers that are installed in an MPC or a
MIC. SFPs and XFPs are hot-insertable and hot-removable.

Removing an SFP or XFP Transceiver from an MX2020 MPC or MIC
Removing an SFP or XFP does not interrupt MPC or MIC functioning, but the removed SFP or XFP no
longer receives or transmits data.
To remove an SFP or XFP transceiver (see Figure 245 on page 566):
1. Have ready a replacement transceiver or a transceiver slot plug, an antistatic mat, and a rubber safety
cap for the transceiver.
2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
one of the ESD points on the chassis.
3. Label the cables connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect them 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 cable connected
to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
4. Remove the cable connector from the transceiver.
