1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver.

2. Grasp the transceiver pull tab and gently pull the transceiver straight out from the port.

3. To insert the replacement transceiver, use the pull tab to carefully push the transceiver into the port.

does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Gently push the correctly oriented

QSFP28 transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.

Note

If your transceiver has an integrated cable, you cannot remove the cable.

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, always use the pull tab and avoid touching the

transceiver body.

Note

The following figure uses a generic interface module. Your interface module might look

different.
