Note If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP+ transceiver, you should reseat it by returning
the bale clasp to the up position. Press the SFP+ transceiver inward and upward into the cage.
Next, lower the bale clasp and pull the SFP+ transceiver straight out with a slight upward lifting
force (see Figure 4-1). Be careful not to damage the port cage during this process.

Step 4 Insert a dust cover into the port end of the transceiver and place the transceiver on an antistatic mat or
into a static shielding bag if you plan to return it to the factory.
Step 5 If another transceiver is not being installed, protect the optical cage by inserting a clean cover.
Removing and Installing Cables into SFP+ Transceivers
This section describes how to remove and install cables into and from SFP+ transceivers.
Caution To prevent damage to the copper cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do
not bend to a radius of less than 1 inch if there is no tension in the cable, or 2 inches if there is tension
in the cable.
