4.2.3 Removing and Replacing SFP/XFPs
When you are replacing an SFP/XFP, have the following parts ready:
• a replacement SFP/XFP
• protective plugs for the SFP/XFP and a dust cover for the fiber cable
connector
• an anti-static mat or electrostatic bag
To remove an SFP/XFP:
Step 1. Disconnect the cable from the SFP/XFP connector.
Step 2. Place a protective plug in the SFP/XFP that is being removed.
Step 3. Release the locking mechanism on the SFP/XFP with your thumb and
forefinger. See section 4.2.1 for descriptions of the different SFP/XFP lock
and release methods. Slide the SFP/XFP out of the port.
Step 4. Place the SFP/XFP on an anti-static mat or in an electrostatic bag.
Step 5. Install a replacement SFP/XFP into the port.
Step 6. Connect the fiber cable, or if you are not immediately connecting a fiber
cable, insert a protective plug into the SFP optical port and place a dust
cover on the fiber cable connector.
Note: Ensure that the temperature ratings for the SFPs and XFPs match those of the
intended operating environment.
