Fiber optic module replacement
You can remove an SFP or XFP from a port and replace it with a new one while the Brocade device
is powered on and running.

Removing a fiber optic module
You can remove a fiber SFP (also called a mini-GBIC) or an XFP from a port while the Brocade
device is powered on and running.
Before removing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the Stackable device.
CAUTION
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 Meg ohm resistor.
• The protective covering that you removed from the fiber optic module when you initially
installed the module.
Follow the steps given below to remove a fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit
Ethernet port.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface
(such as an equipment rack).
2. Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.
4. Pull the fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front
panel of the module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.
