Installing and Replacing SFP+ Transceivers

Caution Excessively removing and installing an SFP+ transceiver can shorten its life. Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not remove and insert SFP+ transceivers. To prevent damage to the cable and transceiver, we recommend that you disconnect cables before installing or removing SFP transceivers.

Installing an SFP+ Transceiver

To install an SFP+ transceiver, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2 Remove the dust cover from the port cage.

Step 3 Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver.

Step 4 Insert the transceiver into the port as follows:

If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, position the transceiver with the tab on the bottom, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.

If the transceiver has a bale clasp latch, position the transceiver with the clasp on the bottom, close the clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.

Caution If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned and the tab or clasp are in the correct position before continuing.
