Attention: mSFP optical transceivers should not be inserted into ports intended
for SFP+ transceivers. They will be faulted on power-up.
Removing an SFP+ optical transceiver
Complete these steps to remove an SFP+ transceiver.
Note: The 16-Gbps SFP+ transceivers have an attached pull tab like the mSFPs.
Instead of using the extraction tool, simply grasp the pull tab and pull it straight
out to remove the 16-Gbps SFP+ and the connected cable from the port. See the
mSFP transceiver in Figure 42 on page 111 for the basic appearance of the 16-Gbps
transceiver. Detach the cable from the 16-Gbps SFP+ once you have disconnected
the unit from the port.
Complete these steps to remove an SFP or SFP+ with a wire bail.
1.
Remove the chassis door if you have not already done so (see “Removing and
installing the chassis door” on page 81 ).
2. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver. Use the extraction tool
to open the cable latching mechanism.
3. 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 41).
4.
Set the transceiver on a static-free surface, such as a grounding pad.
