When installing an SFP or SFP+ module, you should hear a click as the triangular pin on the bottom of the
SFP module snaps into the hole in the receptacle. This click indicates that the module is correctly seated and
secured in the receptacle. Verify that the SFP modules are completely seated and secured in their assigned
receptacles on the line card by firmly pushing on each SFP module.

clasp is obstructed and if you cannot open it, use your index finger, use a small flat-blade screwdriver or
other long, narrow instrument to open the bale clasp.
