Abstract
An optical module includes an internal board with a connector terminal, and a housing for accommodating the internal board. The optical module is mounted on an external board by mating the connector terminal with another connector terminal on the external board. A module removing tool for removing the optical module from the external board has an engaging portion able to fit together with an engageable portion of the module. As the tool is rotated while the engaging portion fits together with the engageable portion of the module, the engaging portion lifts the housing of the module. This results in removing the module from the external board.
