Removing SFPs
To remove an SFP:
- Obtain an antistatic container for the SFP
you plan to remove. (See Storing Modules and Components.)
- Ground yourself by using an antistatic wrist strap
or other device and connect it to an ESD grounding jack.
- Disconnect the cable from the SFP on the IOA.
- Identify the release mechanism for the SFP.
Different SFPs use different release mechanisms. See Figure 24 for possible release mechanisms, which
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
Figure 24: Possible Release Mechanisms
on the SFP

- Release the SFP and pull it out of the slot.
- Place the SFP in an antistatic bag.
When you have replaced the SFPs and connected the cables, issue
the appropriate show interface command
for each interface to verify that the interface is operational (up).
