CHAPTER 7
Maintaining the ERX System
7-6
Removing SFPs
To remove the SFPs:
1 Obtain an antistatic container for the SFPs you will remove (see
Storing Modules and Components, earlier in this chapter).
2 Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to
the ESD grounding jack on the system.
3 Disconnect the cables from one of the SFPs on the module.
4 Identify the release mechanism for the SFP.
Different SFPs use different release mechanisms (see Figure 7-2).
Possible release mechanisms include:
• A button that you press inward
• A ring that you press inward
• A bar that you pull sideways, then outward
• A tab that you pull sideways, then outward

5 Release the SFP and pull it out of the slot.
6 Place the SFP in an antistatic bag.
7 If you are using the redundant port on the ERX GE I/O module,
repeat steps 3 through 6 for the other SFP.
Caution: For port redundancy to operate correctly, both the primary and redundant
ports on an ERX GE I/O module must use the same type of SFP.
