Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
2. To remove the transceiver, perform one of the following steps, depending on your transceiver type.
• If transceiver has a bail latch mechanism (10 GbE transceivers), unlatch 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.

• If transceiver has a pull tab, 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. As the
transceiver may be hot, avoid touching it.
