2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the
slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily,
ensure that it is correctly oriented. Do not insert any unsupported cable intended for an other type of
transceiver into a regular SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
Complete the following steps to remove and then install a new SFP+ transceiver.
NOTE
The 16- and 32-Gbps SFP+ transceivers do not have bails but pull tabs. Always use the pull tab to
insert or remove the SFP+ transceivers, as the SFP might be hot.
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.
2. Grasp the SFP+ transceiver pull tab and pull the tab straight out.
NOTE
Grasp the tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending the pull tab. As the
SFP may be hot, avoid touching it.
