Figure 5. Example: SFP transceiver being installed
Removing the SFP transceivers:
Disconnect the network cable from the transceiver before removing it from the module. Depending
on when you purchased your transceiver, it may have either of three different release mechanisms:
a plastic tab on the bottom, a wire bail, or a plastic collar.
To remove the transceivers that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push in the plastic tab or
collar toward the switch until you see the transceiver release from the switch (you can see it
move outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.
To remove the transceivers that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is approximately horizontal,
then using the bail, pull the transceiver from the slot.
Verifying the Module is Installed Correctly
Observe the Module Status LED for the slot in which the module is being installed, and the Test
and Fault LEDs on the switch to verify the module is installed properly.
