Removing and Installing SFP Transceivers

Warning

Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP

transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary. We recommend disconnecting cables before installing

or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.

Note

Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9396S switch. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded

with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for

the switch.

The Cisco MDS 9396S switch supports SFP transceivers with the following two types of latching devices:

• Mylar tab latch

• Bale-clasp latch
