2. Remove the transceiver by performing one of the following steps, depending on your transceiver type.
• If the transceiver has a pull tab (16b and 32Gb/s SFP+ transceivers), grasp the pull tab and pull the transceiver straight out
from the port.
NOTE
Grasp the pull tab near the body of the transceiver to reduce the chances of bending the pull tab. Since the
transceiver may be hot, avoid touching it.

• If transceiver has a bail latch mechanism (10GbE transceivers), unlatch the transceiver from the port by pulling the bail (wire
handle) away from its pivot point using your fingers or the hooked end of the transceiver extraction tool. Pull the transceiver
out from the port slightly using the bail, and then gasp the transceiver with your fingers and slide it straight out of the port.
