Failure to do so could result in damage to the transceiver and the SSA switch. Always leave the transceiver in the antistatic bag or an equivalent antistatic container when it is not installed.

  1. Put on the antistatic wrist strap and attach it to the ground receptacle on the switch I/O port side of the SSA switch.
    Refer to the instructions in the anti-static wrist strap package. See SSA Switch Ground Receptacle for the location of the ground receptacle.
  2. Remove the cables connected to the pluggable transceiver.
  3. Release the pluggable transceiver from the port.
  4. Grasp the sides of the pluggable transceiver and pull it straight out of the port.
