To install direct connect cables, perform the following procedure:
1. Select a port in the XEM2 Line Card for the direct connect cable.
2. If the selected port has a dust cover, remove the cover.
3. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
4. Orient the transceiver and slide it into the port until it clicks into place.
The correct orientation depends on the line card and transceiver:
XEM2-8XSTm or XEM2-12XS Line Card - To install a SP10TW
direct connect cable in an odd numbered port, position the
transceiver with the release tab on the right. To install a cable in an
even numbered port, position the release tab on the left. Refer to
Figure 106 on page 184. Slide the connector into the port until it
