section before you install the SFP Transceiver Modules.
Types of SFP Transceiver Latches

socket. Determine which type of latch your SFP transceiver uses before you complete the installation and
removal procedures:
z
SFP transceiver with a Mylar tab latch.
z
SFP transceiver with an actuator button latch.
z
SFP transceiver that has a bale-clasp latch.
Install a SFP Transceiver Module
Complete these steps in order to install a SFP transceiver:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector or a bare
metal surface on your chassis.
2. Remove the SFP Transceiver Module from its protective packaging.
Note:
Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.
