Installing or Removing SFP+ Transceivers
Installing an SFP Transceiver
Excessively removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its life. Do not remove and install
transceivers more often than necessary. We recommend that you disconnect cables before installing or removing
SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Remove the dust cover from the port cage.
Step 3 Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver.
Step 4 Insert the transceiver into the port:
• If the transceiver has a Mylar tab, position the transceiver with the tab on the bottom, and then gently
insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
• If the transceiver has a bale clasp, position the transceiver with the clasp on the bottom, close the clasp
by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks
into place.
If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned and the tab or clasp are in the
correct position before continuing.
Caution
If you cannot install the cable into the transceiver, insert or leave the dust plug in the cable end of the transceiver.
