Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully
remove it from the module slot.
For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP
module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective
environment.
The switch 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of
attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can
explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not
autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can
reduce performance or result in no linkage.
