Removal/Replacement
This section describes the removal and replacement procedures for the following
FRUs:

SFP and XPAK transceivers

Power supplies for model 5802V switches
Transceiver Removal and Replacement
The SFP and XPAK transceivers can be removed and replaced while the switch is
operating without damaging the switch or the transceiver. However, data
transmission on the affected port will be interrupted until the transceiver is
installed.
To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the
tension, pull the release tab or lever, and then remove the transceiver. Different
transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the
documentation for your transceiver. To install, insert the transceiver into the port,
and then gently press until it snaps in place.
NOTE:
The SFP and XPAK transceivers will fit only one way. If the transceiver does
not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
