Follow the steps given below to remove a copper or ber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack).
2. Disconnect the copper or ber cable connector from the port connector.
3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.
FIGURE 58 Pull the copper or ber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of
the module. This unlocks the module from the front panel. On 1000BaseSX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve,
and on 1000BaseLX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a blue sleeve.
1 Bail latch
NOTE
The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.
FIGURE 59 Grasping the bail latch, pull the copper or ber optic module out of the port.
4. Store the copper or ber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
5. Install a new copper or ber optic module in the port. For information about performing this task, refer to Installing a new
Copper or ber optic module on page 89.
Installing a new Copper or ber optic module
You must install a
ber optic module (SFP, SFP+, or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ber port you
want to use.
You can install a new ber optic module in a port while the device is powered on and running.
