3.1.2.2 Transceiver Removal
Use the following steps to remove an SFP transceiver.
1 Attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
2 Remove the fiber cables from the transceiver.
3 Pull out the latch and down to unlock the transceiver (latch styles vary).
Note: Make sure the transceiver’s latch is pushed all the way down, so the transceiver can be
pulled out successfully.
4 Pull the latch, or use your thumb and index finger to grasp the tabs on both sides of the transceiver, and
carefully slide it out of the slot.
Note: Do NOT pull the transceiver out by force. You could damage it. If the transceiver will not
slide out, grasp the tabs on both sides of the transceiver with a slight up or down motion
and carefully slide it out of the slot. If unsuccessful, contact Zyxel Support to prevent
damage to your Switch and transceiver.
5 Insert the dust plug into the ports on the transceiver and the cables.
