Replacing an SFP+ Transceiver
Complete the following steps to remove and then install a new SFP+ transceiver.
NOTE
The 16Gb/s and 32Gb/s SFP+ transceivers do not have bails but pull tabs. Always use the pull tab to insert or
remove the SFP+ transceivers, since the transceiver might be hot.
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.
2. To remove the transceiver, perform one of the following steps, depending on your transceiver type.
•
If the transceiver has a pull tab (16Gb/s and 32Gb/s SFP+ transceivers), grasp the pull tab and pull the transceiver
straight out from the port.
NOTE
Grasp the pull tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending the pull tab. Since
the transceiver may be hot, avoid touching it.

•
If the transceiver has a bail latch mechanism (10GbE transceivers), 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 gasp the transceiver with your fingers and slide it
straight out of the port.
