Removing an SFP+
Remove an SFP+ transceiver to replace it or to commission it elsewhere.
Before you begin
• Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
Danger:
Risk of eye injury by laser
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into
an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables connect to a light
source.
Electrostatic alert:
ESD can damage electronic circuits. Do not touch electronic hardware unless you wear a
grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the network fiber optic cable from the SFP+ connector.
2. Pull the swing-down latch handle to the fully lowered position, and hold the handle to extract
the module.
3. Slide the SFP+ transceiver out of the module SFP+ slot.
If the SFP+ does not slide easily from the module slot, use a gentle side-to-side rocking
motion while firmly pulling the SFP+ transceiver from the slot.
4. Affix dust covers over the fiber optic bore and connector.
5. Store the SFP+ transceiver in a safe place until needed.
Important:
If you discard the SFP+ transceiver, dispose of it according to all national laws and
regulations.
Installing an SFP+
