Items required
The following items are needed to replace a transceiver:
•
Replacement mSFP, SFP, SFP+, or XFP

Most Brocade switches and backbones come with a transceiver extraction tool and holster. The extraction tool is designed
to remove transceivers from switches and blades where the space is limited.

Removing an SFP+ transceiver
Complete the following steps to remove an SFP+ transceiver.
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver. Use the extraction tool to open the cable latching
mechanism.
2. Using the hooked end of the tool, pull the bail (wire handle) away from its pivot point and out, sliding the transceiver
out of the switch or blade.
The 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers have an attached pull tab like the mSFPs. Instead of using the tool, simply grasp
the pull tab and pull straight out to remove the 16 Gbps SFP+ from the switch or blade. Refer to the illustration for the
mSFP transceiver for the basic appearance of the 16 Gbps transceiver.
