Removing SFPs in a CTP2000 Module
This section describes how to replace small form-factor
pluggable transceivers (SFPs) on interface modules that support these
devices. You can replace the SFPs without disabling the interfaces
or removing the module from the device.
To remove an SFP:
- Obtain an antistatic container for the SFP
you plan to remove.
- 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 module.
- Identify the release mechanism for the SFP.
Different SFPs use different release mechanisms. See Figure 1 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

on the SFP
- Release the SFP and pull it out of the slot.
- Place the SFP into an antistatic bag.
