Removing SFPs

To remove the SFPs:

1. Obtain an antistatic container for the SFPs you plan to remove. (See Storing Modules and Components.)
2. Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD grounding jack on the system.
3. Disconnect the cables from one of the SFPs on the module.
4. Identify the release mechanism for the SFP.

   Different SFPs use different release mechanisms. (See Figure 40.) Possible release mechanisms include:

   • A button that you press inward
   • A ring that you press inward
   • A bar that you pull sideways, then outward
   • A tab that you pull sideways, then outward

5. Release the SFP and pull it out of the slot.
6. Place the SFP in an antistatic bag.
7. If you are using the redundant port on the GE I/O module, repeat Steps 3–6 for the other SFP.

   Caution: For port redundancy to operate correctly, both the primary and redundant ports on a GE I/O module must use the same type of SFP.
