If the transceiver has a bail latch mechanism, unlatch from the port by pulling the bail (wire handle) away from its
pivot point using your fingers or the hooked end of the transceiver extraction tool. Pull the transceiver out from the
port slightly using the bail, and then grasp the transceiver with your fingers and slide it straight out of the port.

3. To install the transceiver, perform one of the following steps depending on your transceiver type:
•
If the transceiver has a pull tab, use the pull tab to help push the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and
the latching mechanism clicks.
•
If the transceiver has a bail latch mechanism, ensure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, grasp
the transceiver, and push it into the port until firmly seated. Close the bail to latch the transceiver in the slot.
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.
