Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards Removing Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules from Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards Step 3 Connect the interface card to the network. (See the "Connecting Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards to the Network" section on page 7.) Removing Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules from Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards This section describes a generic removal procedure. Small form-factor pluggable modules (SFPs) use various latch designs (see Figure 118) to secure the module in the SFP port. Note Latch designs are not linked to SFP model or technology type; for information on the SFP technology type and model, see the label on the top or side of the SFP. Removing SFPs from Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards To remove an SFP from a Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card, perform the following steps: Step 1 Disconnect all cables from the SFP. Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 125 Caution The latching mechanism used on many SFPs locks the SFP into place whenever cables are connected. Do not pull on the cabling in an attempt to remove the SFP. Step 2 Disconnect the SFP latch (see Figure 118). Figure 118 Disconnecting SFP Latch Mechanisms 1 2 3 4 A B 117722 OL-12852-01 5
