Replacing a transceiver
Complete the following steps to replace an SFP or SFP+ transceiver. Refer to the illustration in
Removing a transceiver
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) 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.
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.
2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot
in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily,
ensure that it is correctly oriented.
