If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, position 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 latch, position 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.
If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned and the tab or
clasp are in the correct position before continuing.
If you cannot install the cable into the transceiver, insert or leave the dust cover in the cable end
of the transceiver.
Record the cable and port connections for later reference.
Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull
the connector from the transceiver.
Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
If the transceiver does not remove easily in the next step, push the transceiver completely in
and then ensure that the latch is in the correct position before continuing.
If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, gently pull the tab straight out (do not twist), and then pull
the transceiver out of the port.
