Note: If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver,
you should reseat the SFP+ or QSFP+ by returning the bale clasp in the up
position. Then press the SFP+ or QSFP+ inward and upward into the cage.
Next, lower the bale clasp and pull the SFP+ or QSFP+ straight out with a
slight upward lifting force (see Figure 38). Be careful not to damage the port
cage during this process.
4. Insert a dust cover into the port end of the transceiver and place the transceiver
on an antistatic mat or into a static shielding bag if you plan to return it to the
factory.
5. If another transceiver is not being installed, protect the optical cage by inserting
a clean cover.
Installing an SFP+ Transceiver
About this task
To install an SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver, follow these steps:
Procedure
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
2. Remove the dust cover from the port cage.
3. Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver.
4. Insert the transceiver into the port:
v If the transceiver has a Mylar tab, orient the transceiver with the tab on the
bottom, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into
place.
v If the transceiver has a bale clasp, orient the transceiver with the clasp on
the bottom, close the clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then
gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
CAUTION:
If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented
and the tab or clasp are in the correct position before continuing.
Note: If you cannot install the cable into the transceiver, insert or leave the
dust plug in the cable end of the transceiver.
