Removing transceivers
Remove transceivers by performing this procedure.
1. Disconnect the network fiber cable from the transceiver.
2. Use the locking mechanism on the transceiver to release it. The locking mechanism varies
from model to model as illustrated below.
3. Slide the transceiver from the port.
4. If the transceiver does not slide easily from the port, use a gentle side-to-side rocking motion
while firmly pulling the transceiver from the port.
5. Attach a dust cover over the fiber-optic bores and store the transceiver in a safe place until
you need it.
Note:
Discard transceivers in accordance with the proper laws and regulations.
