Removing SFPs (OS6600-U24)
SFPs modules can be hot swapped. You are not required to power off the switch before removing a SFP 
from the uplink module. To remove a SFP from the uplink module, follow the steps below:
Anti-Static Warning. Before handling any component, free yourself of static by wearing a grounding 
strap, or by grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the SFP, as well as the switch and 
uplink module.
On some SFPs there is a small removal handle at the front of the SFP transceiver. Carefully lift this 
handle.
On other SFPs there is an ejector button located just below the transceiver port. Push this button to 
disengage the SFP.
Grasp the SFP and carefully pull it from the OS6600-U24.
Store the SFP in a secure, static-free location. Placing the SFP in an anti-static bag is recommended.
