Next, the first step is to disconnect the network fiber cable from the XFP connector with affixing a dust cover over the optical connector. Gently pull the module latch or release ring, depending on the module design. Remove the module in a straight motion. This chapter describes how to install and remove small form-factor pluggables (SFP modules or XFP modules) on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Card. This chapter contains the following sections: •Removing and Installing SFP Modules, page 4-35 •Removing and Installing XFP Modules, page. You can remove an XFP module from your Extreme Networks switch or I/O module without powering off the system. Rotate the handle (bail latch) on the XFP module. To remove an SFP or XFP transceiver (see Figure 1): Have ready a replacement transceiver or a transceiver slot plug, an antistatic mat, and a rubber safety cap for the transceiver. Small Form-factor Pluggable modules (SFP module) are the workhorses of modern network connectivity, enabling flexible fiber optic or copper links between switches, routers, firewalls, and servers.
