1 - Pull tab
2 - Transceiver
v If transceiver has a bail latch mechanism (10 GbE transceivers), ensure that
the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, grasp the transceiver, and
push it into the port until firmly seated. Close the bail to latch the
transceiver in the slot.
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.
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.
