G730 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Perform the following steps to insert an SFP-DD transceiver and then insert the cables.
NOTE
•
Always use the pull tab to insert or remove a transceiver, because the SFP-DD might be hot.
•
You might find it easier to insert the cables into the transceiver first and then install the transceiver.
1. Use the pull tab on the SFP-DD transceiver to help push the transceiver into the port.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in
easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Push the correctly oriented transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated
and the latching mechanism clicks.
For the top row of ports, insert the transceiver so that the pull tab is on the bottom. For the bottom row of ports, insert
the transceiver so that the pull tab is on the top.

2. Remove the first dust cap from the transceiver. Leave the second dust cap in place.
3. Position a cable so that the molded grid pattern and wide key tab on one side of the cable connector are facing up
(away from the transceiver pull tab).
Note that if you are inserting the cable into a transceiver on the lower row of ports, the molded grid pattern on the
cable should be facing down (away from the transceiver pull tab).
