Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
About this task
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
transceiver might be hot.
Procedure
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.
2. To remove the transceiver, perform one of the following steps, depending on
your transceiver type.
v
If transceiver has a pull tab (16- and 32-Gbps SFP+ transceivers), grasp the
pull tab and pull the transceiver straight out from the port.
Note: Grasp the pull tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the
chances of bending the pull tab. As the transceiver may be hot, avoid
touching it.

v If transceiver has a bail latch mechanism (10 GbE transceivers), unlatch from
the port by pulling the bail (wire handle) away from its pivot point using
your fingers or the hooked end of the transceiver extraction tool. Pull the
transceiver out from the port slightly using the bail, and then gasp the
transceiver with your fingers and slide it straight out of the port.
