slight upward lifting force (see Figure 37 on page 131). Be careful not to damage the port cage during
this process.

4. Insert a dust cover into the port end of the transceiver and place the transceiver on an antistatic mat or
into a static shielding bag if you plan to return it to the factory.
5. If another transceiver is not being installed, protect the optical cage by inserting a clean cover.
Installing an SFP+ Transceiver
About this task
To install an SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver, follow these steps:
Procedure
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
2. Remove the dust cover from the port cage.
3. Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver.
4. Insert the transceiver into the port:
• If the transceiver has a Mylar tab, orient the transceiver with the tab on the bottom, and then gently
insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
• If the transceiver has a bale clasp, orient the transceiver with the clasp on the bottom, close the
clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it
clicks into place.
CAUTION : If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented and the
tab or clasp are in the correct position before continuing.
Note : If you cannot install the cable into the transceiver, insert or leave the dust plug in the cable end
of the transceiver.
Removing and Installing Cables into SFP+ or QSFP+ Transceivers
CAUTION : To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables, do not place more tension on them than
the rated limit and do not bend to a radius of less than 1 inch if there is no tension in the cable, or 2
inches if there is tension in the cable.
