NOTE
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver may cause disruption in the fabric or to the attached device.
NOTE
16G and 32G SFP+ transceivers have pull tabs instead of bails. Always use the pull tab to insert or remove the
SFP+ transceivers, since the SFP might be hot.
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.
2. Grasp the SFP+ transceiver pull tab and pull out the tab straight.
NOTE
Grasp the tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending the pull tab. Because the
SFP may be hot, avoid touching it.
3. To insert the replacement transceiver, use the pull tab on the SFP+ transceiver to carefully push the transceiver into
the port. Transceivers are keyed so that they can be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not
slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position
to insert an SFP+ transceiver into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to
insert an SFP+ transceiver into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.

4. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver.
Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented.
