4.  Hold the sides of the 

transceiver

 and carefully pull it 

away from the 

cage socket

.

5. Replace the 

cap

 on the 

SFP cage socket 

and place the 

removed 

SFP transceiver into an antistatic bag

.

Caution: 

SFP 

transceivers are 
static sensitive 
devices. Use 
an ESD wrist 
strap or similar 
grounding device 
when handling 
transceivers.

Do not install 
or remove SFP 
transceivers while 

mCFSPQUJDDBCMFT

are still attached. 
This can cause 
damage to the 
cables, cable 
connectors, 
and the optical 
interfaces. It may 
also prevent the 
transceiver from 
latching correctly 
into the socket 
connector.

Note: 

Installing 

and removing 
SFP transceivers 
can shorten their 
useful life. Do not 
install or remove 
transceivers more 
than is necessary.

To install the SFP transceivers

1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.
2.  Remove the

 caps

 from the 

SFP cage 

sockets on the 

front panel of the unit.

3.  Position the 

SFP transceiver

 in front of the cage socket 

opening and ensure that the 

transceiver 

is correctly 

oriented. When the

 transceiver

 is correctly oriented, the 

extraction lever

 will be level with the 

socket latch

.

Note:

 SFP cage socket orientation may vary. Ensure that 

the SFP transceiver module is correctly oriented each 

time that you are inserting a transceiver.

4. Hold the sides of the 

SFP transceiver

 and slide it into 

the 

cage socket until

 it clicks into place.

SFP Transceivers

Caution:

 Do not 

force the SFP 
transceivers into 
the cage slots. If 
the transceiver 
does not easily 
slide in and click 
into place, it may 
not be aligned 
correctly or may 
be upside down. 
If this happens, 
remove the SFP 
transceiver, 
realign it or rotate 
it and slide it in 
again.

Note:

 Follow 

QSPQFSmCFS

optic handling 
procedures when 
installing and 
removing
SFP transceivers 
to ensure the 
devices remain 
clean and are not 
damaged.

5.  Press the

 transceiver 

mSNMZJOUPUIF

 cage socket 

with 

your thumb.

6. Verify that the

 transceiver is latched correctly

 by 

grasping the sides of the transceiver and trying to pull it 
out without lowering the 

extraction lever

.

  If the transceiver cannot be removed, it is installed and 

latched correctly.

  If the transceiver can be removed, reinsert it and press 

harder with your thumb.
If necessary, repeat this process until the 

transceiver 

is 

securely latched into the 

cage socket

.

To remove the SFP transceivers

1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.
2. If applicable, disconnect the 

mCFSPQUJDDBCMF

 from the

transceiver connector

 and install a 

clean dust plug 

in 

the transceiver’s optical bores.

3. Pull the 

extraction lever 

out and down to eject the 

transceiver
