Note: This tool is part of the SAN768B ship group and should be kept with the

SAN768B.

Attention: mSFP optical transceivers should not be inserted into ports intended

for SFP or SFP+ transceivers. They will be faulted on power-up for Fabric OS 6.4.0

and later.

Removing an SFP, SFP+, or XFP optical transceiver

To remove an SFP, SFP+, or XFP (FC6-10 blade only) transceiver, complete the

following steps.

1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver. Use the extraction tool

to open the cable latching mechanism.

2. Pull the bail (wire handle) 1 away from its pivot point and out, sliding the

transceiver out of the port (Figure 41).

Replacing an SFP, SFP+, or XFP transceiver

1. Position the optical transceiver so that the key is oriented correctly to the port.

Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching

mechanism clicks. Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with

the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is

correctly oriented.

2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is

aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver

until the latching mechanism clicks. Cables are keyed so that they can be

inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is

correctly oriented.

Removing and replacing an mSFP optical transceiver

Note: mSFP optical transceivers should not be inserted into ports intended for SFP

or SFP+ transceivers. They will be faulted on power-up For Fabric OS 6.4.0

and later.

To replace an mSFP transceiver, complete the following steps. Note that it is

recommended that the optical cable should be either removed from or inserted into

the mSFP while the transceiver is out of the switch or blade.
