Step 5
Grasp the SFP+ or SFP module, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 6 For fiber-optic SFP+ or SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP+ or SFP module
to keep the optical interfaces clean.

Inserting and Removing the SFP+ Module Patch Cable
Note This section shows how to install and remove an SFP+ module patch cable into an SFP+ (uplink) module
slot. The procedure is the same for installing an SFP module patch cable into an SFP (downlink) module
slot.
To insert an SFP+ module patch cable into the SFP+ module slot, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Insert the SFP+ module patch cable into the slot until you feel the connector on the cable snap into place
in the rear of the slot (see Figure 2-13).
