Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect
Connecting to an Ethernet Port
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.
Caution If the transceiver does not remove easily in the next step, push the transceiver completely in
and then ensure that the latch is in the correct position before continuing.
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.
Note If you cannot remove the SFP+ transceiver, 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. 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.

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.
