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.
Attention: Take care not to bend the SFP+ pull tab. Do not insert a cable
intended for an mSFP transceiver into a regular SFP+ transceiver. You may
damage the cable.
3. Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct
orientation. Insert the cable/transceiver into the port, using the pull tab to help
push the transceiver into the port. If it does not slide in easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented.
Installing 8 Gbps SFP+ transceivers with wire bails
1.
Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the 8
Gbps SFP+ in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 9.
2. Slide the SFP+ into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.
3. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of the connector)
aligns with the slot in the transceiver (see Figure 10 on page 21). Then, insert
the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
