Step 5 Remove the dust plugs from the SFP module optical ports, store them for later use.
Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables
from contamination and ambient light.
Step 6 Insert the LC cable connector into the SFP module.
Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots
To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.
Step 2 Disconnect the LC from the SFP module.
Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 4 Unlock and remove the SFP module. See Figure B-34.
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp
latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver
or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.
