Emulex LPe31000-Series and LPe32000-Series Adapters Quick Installation
Guide
Chapter 2: Installation
The standard adapters can be connected to fiber-optic cables.
2.1 Preparing the Adapter for Installation
The Broadcom Emulex LPe31000-series and LPe32000-series adapters use removable optical transceivers. If you need to
change the bracket for an adapter installation, you must first
remove the optical transceivers, if installed, from the housing
(cage). This procedure explains how to remove the transceiver and bracket safely.
NOTE: The LPe31004 adapter does not include removable transceivers.
The LPe31000-series and LPe32000-series adapters come with a standard full–height PCIe bracket installed.
To change the bracket:
1. Some adapters have optical transceivers embedded in their cage assemblies. These optical transceivers must be
removed before the bracket can be removed. If the adapter contains optical transceivers, continue with the following
steps; otherwise, proceed to
step 4 .
CAUTION! This is a delicate operation. Take care not to damage the optical transceiver.
The adapter uses different types of optical transceivers. Figure 1 shows an example of one type with the bail (handle)
extended.

2. To remove a transceiver, pull the bail (handle) out and down to release the latch and gently pullout the transceiver. Do
not force it. After the latch is released, the transceiver slides out easily.
Figure 2 shows a transceiver with the latch released (bail extended) and another transceiver latched in place.
