Chapter 3: Hardware and Servicing
To remove the cable from the transceiver port:
1. Make sure the transceiver latch is in a secured locked position (the latch is flat
against the front of the transceiver). Otherwise, when you attempt to remove
the cable, the transceiver might come out with the cable still attached.
