Figure 3 Installing a bail latch transceiver module (QSFP+)
4.
Grasping the fiber connector between your thumb and index finger, align it with the transceiver
module optical bore and push it into the bore.
Transceiver module optical bores and fiber connectors have disorientation rejection designs. If
you cannot insert a fiber connector easily into a transceiver module optical bore, the
orientation might be wrong. Remove and reorient the connector.
5.
If you are not to install an optical fiber, insert a dust plug into the transceiver module bore.
NOTE:
The triangular pin on a transceiver module and the hole in a fiber port function together to prevent
the module from disengaging from the port.
Removal procedure
1.
Remove the optical fiber from the transceiver module.
There is a latching mechanism between a fiber connector and transceiver module port to
prevent connector disengagement. Release the latching mechanism before removing the
optical fiber. To avoid damages, do not use excessive force.
2.
Pivot the bail latch down until it stops, as shown by callout 1 in
3.
Holding the bail latch, carefully pull the transceiver module straight out of the fiber port.
If you use force at an angle as shown in
, you can hardly pull the transceiver module
out and the transceiver module or fiber port might be damaged. If you forcibly pull out of the
transceiver module without pivoting the bail latch down, the triangular pin of the transceiver
module and the fiber port might be damaged.
To avoid damaging the bail latch, use event force to pull the transceiver module out.
