Removing and replacing transceivers
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
Complete the following steps to replace an SFP+ transceiver.
1.
Making sure that the bail (wire handle) on an 8 or 10 Gbps transceiver is in the unlocked or open position, position the optical
transceiver so that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the
latching mechanism clicks.

SFP+ bail
The 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers do not have bails. Use the pull tab on the 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers to carefully push the
transceiver into the port. Grasp the tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending the tab.

Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily,
ensure that it is correctly oriented.
