Gently push the bale toward the transceiver to close the bale and engage the locking mechanism, securing
the transceiver in place.
Step 3
Follow the procedure in

Removing an SFP Transceiver
Use appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when removing the transceiver. Avoid
touching the contacts at the rear, and keep the contacts and ports free of dust and dirt.
To remove an SFP transceiver:
Step 1
Disconnect all cables from the transceiver you want to remove from the device.
Step 2
Using your fingers, gently pull the bale of the transceiver away from the chassis to disengage the
connecting mechanism.
For transceivers in the upper row, pull down. For transceivers in the lower row, lift up.
Step 3
Using your fingers, grasp the sides of the bale and use the bale as a handle to gently pull the transceiver
out of the chassis, taking care not to touch the contacts at the back of the transceiver.
