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. Release the
latching before removing the optical fiber. To avoid damages, do not use excessive force.
2.
Putting your forefinger into the pull ring, carefully pull the transceiver module straight out of the
fiber port.
As shown in
, if you use force at an angle, you can hardly pull the transceiver module
out and the transceiver module or fiber port might be damaged.
To avoid damaging the pull latch, use event force to pull the transceiver module out.

Insert the dust plug into the fiber port.
Installing and removing a transceiver module with
captive screws
This installation procedure is applicable only to a CFP transceiver module.
Installation procedure
1.
Remove the dust plug from the target fiber port.
2.
As shown in
, correctly orient the transceiver module and align it with the fiber port.
Push it gently into the port until you feel it snaps into place.
Transceiver modules and fiber ports have disorientation rejection designs. If you cannot insert
a transceiver module easily into a port, the orientation might be wrong. Remove and reorient
the transceiver module.
In case of limited space, you can gently push against the front face of the transceiver module
instead of the two sides.
