Complete the following steps to remove an SFP or SFP+ with a wire bail.
1.
Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver. Use the extraction tool
to open the cable latching mechanism.
2. Using the hooked end of the tool, pull the bail (wire handle)
1
away from its
pivot point and out, sliding the transceiver out of the port (Figure 43).
3. Set the transceiver on a static-free surface, such as a grounding pad.
Installing an SFP+ transceiver
Complete the following steps to install an SFP+ transceiver.
Note: The 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers have an attached pull tab like the mSFPs. See
the mSFP transceiver in Figure 44 on page 92 for the basic appearance of the
16 Gbps transceiver. Connect the cable to the 16 Gbps SFP+ first, and then
insert the SFP+/cable unit into the port, using the pull tab to help push the
transceiver and cable into the port.
1. For SFPs and SFP+ transceivers with wire bails, make sure that the bail (wire
handle) is in the unlocked position. Align the optical transceiver so that the key
is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is
firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks, and then close the bail.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct
orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly
oriented.
