Removing a CFP2 Transceiver
C form-factor pluggables (CFPs) are transceivers that can be removed from a PIC. CFP2 transceivers are
hot-insertable and hot-removable. Removing a CFP2 transceiver does not interrupt PIC functioning, but
the removed CFP2 transceiver no longer receives or transmits data.
Figure 249: Form-Factor Pluggable (CFP2)
To remove a CFP2 transceiver (see Figure 249 on page 578):
1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the CFP transceiver. Have
ready a rubber safety cap for the CFP2 transceiver and the cable.
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 cable connected to the CFP2 transceiver so that you can later reconnect it to the correct
CFP2 transceiver.
4. Disconnect the cable from the CFP2 transceiver. Immediately cover the transceiver and the end of the
cable with a rubber safety cap.
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.
