latch-down orientation. Figure
where the bale-clasp latching mechanism pivots up to the closed (locked) position.
right view shows the SFP installed in a latch-down orientation where the bale-clasp latching
mechanism pivots down to the closed (locked) position. Verify that you have the SFP transceiver
