2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the
slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
Note
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in
easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Do not insert any unsupported cable intended
for an other type of transceiver into a regular SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable
as well as the transceiver.
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
Complete the following steps to remove and then install a new SFP+ transceiver.
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.
2. To remove the transceiver, perform one of the following steps, depending on your transceiver type.
• If transceiver has a bail latch mechanism (10 GbE transceivers), unlatch from the port by pulling
the bail (wire handle) away from its pivot point using your fingers or the hooked end of the
transceiver extraction tool. Pull the transceiver out from the port slightly using the bail, and then
gasp the transceiver with your fingers and slide it straight out of the port.

•
If transceiver has a pull tab, grasp the pull tab and pull the transceiver straight out from the port.
Note
Grasp the pull tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending
the pull tab. As the transceiver may be hot, avoid touching it.
