NOTE
The 16- and 32-Gbps SFP+ transceivers do not have bails. Always use the pull tab to insert or remove the transceivers, as the
SFP might be hot.
1. Use the pull tab on the 16- and 32-Gbps SFP+ transceivers to help push the transceiver into the port. Transceivers are keyed
so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly
oriented. Push the correctly oriented transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
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.

2. 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.
NOTE
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. Do not insert any unsupported cable intended for an other type of transceiver into a regular SFP+
transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
Complete the following steps to remove and then install a new SFP+ transceiver.
