Fortinet FortiGate 94D PoE - Removing SFP Transceivers

10 11
Caution: Do not force
the SFP transceivers
into the cage slots. If
the transceiver does
not easily slide in
and click into place,
it may not be aligned
correctly or may be
upside down. If this
happens, remove
the SFP transceiver,
realign it or rotate it
and slide it in again.
Note: SFP cage
socket orientation
may vary. Ensure that
the SFP transceiver
module is correctly
oriented each time
that you are inserting a
transceiver. Installing
and removing SFP
transceivers can
shorten their useful
life. Do not install or
remove transceivers
more than is
necessary.
3. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the cage
socket opening and ensure that the transceiver is
correctly oriented.
When the transceiver is correctly oriented, the
extraction lever will be level with the socket latch.
4. Hold the sides of the SFP transceiver and slide it into
the cage socket until it clicks into place.
5. Press the transceiver mSNMZJOUPUIF cage socket with
your thumb.
6. Verify that the transceiver is latched correctly by
grasping the sides of the transceiver and trying to pull
it out without lowering the extraction lever.
If the transceiver cannot be removed, it is installed
and latched correctly.
If the transceiver can be removed, reinsert it and
press harder with your thumb.
If necessary, repeat this process until the transceiver
is securely latched into the cage socket.
To remove the SFP transceivers
1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.
2. If applicable, disconnect the mCFSPQUJDDBCMF from the transceiver connector and install
a clean dust plug in the transceiver’s optical bores.
3. Pull the extraction lever out and down to eject the transceiver. If you are unable to use
ZPVSmOHFSUPPQFOUIFMFWFSVTFBTNBMMnBUIFBEscrewdriver or other similar tool to
open the lever.
4. Hold the sides of the transceiver and carefully pull it away from the cage socket.
5. Replace the cap on the SFP cage socket and place
the removed SFP transceiver into an antistatic bag.
Note: Follow proper
mCSFPQUJDIBOEMJOH
procedures when
installing and
removing SFP
transceivers to ensure
the devices remain
clean and are not
damaged.
