The bale clasp SFP or SFP+ module has a clasp that you use to remove or install the module (see the figure
below).
Figure 60: Bale Clasp SFP or SFP+ Module
Protect the SFP or SFP+ modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are removed. Be
sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of another
module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of your SFP or SFP+ modules,
because the optics do not work correctly when obstructed by dust.
We strongly recommended that you do not install or remove the SFP or SFP+ module with fiber-optic cables
that are attached to it because of the potential of damaging the cable, the cable connector, or the optical
interfaces in the module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP or SFP+ module. Removing
and inserting a module can shorten its useful life, so you should not remove and insert modules any more than
is absolutely necessary.
When installing an SFP or SFP+ module, you should hear a click as the triangular pin on the bottom of the
module snaps into the hole in the receptacle. The click indicates that the module is correctly seated and secured
in the receptacle. Verify that the modules are seated and secured in their assigned receptacles on the line card
by firmly pushing on each SFP or SFP+ module.
