Removing an SFP Optical Port
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated
before installing or removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause
serious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
1. Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to prevent electrostatic
discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing an ESD wrist strap or by touching Earth or the
chassis ground.
2. Remove the dust cover from the port opening in the module.
CAUTION!
Mechanical hazard – risk of component damage. SFP optical ports are designed to insert in only
one orientation. Do not force the port into the module.
3. Remove the port from its packaging.
4. Insert the port into the module and swing the bail-latch up to lock it in place.
