Optics removal
Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.
When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and steadily. Before pulling
the release tab, you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure that it is seated properly. Do not jerk or tug
repeatedly on the tab.
