Removing SFPs

To remove an SFP:

1. Obtain an antistatic container for the SFP you plan to remove. (See Storing Modules and Components.)
2. Ground yourself by using an antistatic wrist strap or other device and connect it to an ESD grounding jack.
3. Disconnect the cable from the SFP on the IOA.
4. 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

   

5. Release the SFP and pull it out of the slot.
6. 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).
