Chapter 17 Installing and Removing Line Cards
Installing SFP Modules or GBIC Modules
– Swing and slide latch SFP module—Swinging the latch out releases the locking pin and pulls
the SFP module out after it is inserted.
– Bale latch SFP module—Opening the bale clasp releases the locking pin so you can remove the
SFP module from its receptacle.
• There is no correlation of the type of latch to the model (such as SX or LH) or technology type (such as
Gigabit Ethernet) of SFP modules.
Always read the label on the SFP module or GBIC module to
determine the technology type and model.
• You can install and remove SFP modules and GBIC modules with power on to the system.
• Disconnect all cables before removing or installing a GBIC module or SFP module. We strongly
recommend that you do not install or remove the GBIC module or SFP module with cables attached
to it.
• GBIC modules and SFP modules are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Your line card may ship with an SFP module installed. Use the procedures in this section if you need to
install or change the SFP module.
Use only SFP modules supplied by Cisco with your line card. Each SFP module contains an internal
serial EEPROM that is security-programmed by the SFP manufacturer with information that provides a
way for Cisco (through Cisco IOS software) to identify and validate the SFP module as a module type
that is tested and qualified by Cisco to operate properly with your line card. Unapproved SFP modules
(those not purchased directly from Cisco) do not work with the line card.
