Replacing an SFP+ Transceiver

To replace an SFP+ transceiver, follow these steps:

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

Step 2 If a cable is installed in the transceiver, do the following:

a.Record the cable and port connections for later reference.

b.Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the connector from the transceiver.

c.Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.

Caution If the transceiver does not remove easily in the next step, push the transceiver completely in and then ensure that the latch is in the correct position before continuing.

Step 3 Remove the transceiver from the port as follows:

•If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, gently pull the tab straight out (do not twist), and then pull the transceiver out of the port.

•If the transceiver has a bale clasp latch, open the clasp by pressing it downward, and then pull the transceiver out of the port.

Note If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP+ transceiver, you should reseat it by returning the bale clasp latch to the up position. Press the SFP+ transceiver inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale clasp latch and pull the SFP+ transceiver straight out with a slight upward lifting force (see Figure 3-2). Be careful not to damage the port cage during this process.
