SFP transceiver removal and replacement
5
1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver. Use the extraction tool to open the
cable latching mechanism.
2. Using the hooked end of the tool, pull the bail (wire handle) away from its pivot point and out,
sliding the transceiver out of the switch or module.

Replacing a transceiver
For this procedure, please refer to Figure 21 .
Complete the following steps to replace an SFP or SFP+ transceiver.
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked or open position, 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.
