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.

Removing an SFP Transceiver
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow the instructions for its use.
Step 2 If a cable is installed in the transceiver, do the following:
a) Record the cable and port connections for later reference.
b) Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the
connector from the transceiver.
c) Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
Step 3 Remove the transceiver from the port:
• If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, gently pull the tab straight out (do not twist), and then pull the
transceiver out of the port.
• If the transceiver has a bale clasp latch, open the clasp by pressing it downwards, and then pull the
transceiver out of the port.
If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP transceiver, reseat the SFP by returning the bale
clasp to the up position. Press the SFP inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale clasp
and pull the SFP straight out with a slight upward lifting force. Be careful not to damage the port
cage during this process.
Note
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.
