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 the SFP by returning the bale clasp to the up position. Press the SFP inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale clasp latch and pull the SFP straight out with a slight upward lifting force (see Figure 3-3). Be careful not to damage the port cage during this process.

Step 4 Insert a dust cover into the port end of the transceiver and place the transceiver on an antistatic mat or into a static-shielding bag if you plan to return it to the factory.

Step 5 If another transceiver is not being installed, protect the optical cage by inserting a clean cover.
