Note
If you cannot install the cable into the transceiver, insert or leave the dust plug in the cable end
of the transceiver.
Removing an SFP Transceiver
To remove an SFP transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2
If a cable is installed in the transceiver:
a.
Record the cable and port connections for later reference.
b.
Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull
the connector from the transceiver.
c.
Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
Caution
If the transceiver does not remove easily in the next step, push the transceiver completely in
and then ensure that the latch is in the correct position before continuing.
Step 3
Remove the transceiver from the port:
•
If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, gently pull the tab straight out (do not twist), and then pull
the transceiver out of the port.
•
If the transceiver has a bale clasp latch, open the clasp by pressing it downwards, and then pull the
transceiver out of the port.
Note
If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP transceiver, reseat the SFP by returning the bale
clasp to the up position. Press the SFP inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale
clasp and pull the SFP straight out with a slight upward lifting force (see
Figure 3-3
). Be careful
not to damage the port cage during this process.
