What to do next
Removing the SFP+ Module from the Supervisor PIC
Before you begin
![]() Caution |
Do not install or remove the SFP+ module with fiber-optic cables still attached to it. Doing so may damage cables, cable connectors, or the optical interfaces and may interfere with the SFP+ module latching properly into its socket connector. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP transceiver module. |
-
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug connected to the chassis.
-
Removing and installing an SFP+ module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP+ modules more often than is absolutely necessary.
Required Tools and Equipment
-
ESD-preventive wrist strap
-
Dust plugs for the SFP+ module
-
Antistatic bag
Procedure
Step 1 |
Disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the SFP+ port for removing the SFP+ module from the Supervisor PIC. Immediately reinstall the dust plug in the optical bores and the fiber-optic cable LC connectors .
