NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that
it is correctly oriented. Do not insert any unsupported cable that is intended for another type of transceiver
into a regular SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
Replacing an SFP+ Transceiver
Perform the following steps to remove an SFP+ transceiver and then install a new SFP+ transceiver:
NOTE
•
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver may cause disruption in the fabric or to the attached device.
•
Always use the pull tab to insert or remove an SFP+ transceiver, since the transceiver might be hot.
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.
2. Grasp the SFP+ transceiver pull tab, and pull the tab straight out.
NOTE
Grasp the tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending the pull tab. Avoid touching
the transceiver because it may be hot.
