Small form factor pluggables (SFPs) are optical transceivers that can be removed from a PIC
(for more information, see “Physical Interface Cards (PICs)” on page 9).

SFPs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. Removing an SFP does not interrupt PIC
functioning, but the removed SFP no longer receives or transmits data. To replace an SFP,
perform the following procedures:
•
Remove an SFP on page 95
•
Install an SFP on page 96
Remove an SFP
To remove an SFP, follow this procedure (see Figure 33):
