If the transceiver has a bail latch mechanism (10GbE transceivers), 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 be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in
easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
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 another type of transceiver into a
regular SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
