Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
Complete the following steps to replace an SFP+ transceiver.
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked 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; then close the bail.
The 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers do not have bails. Use the tab on the 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers to
help gently push the transceiver into the port. Do not push so hard as to bend the tab.
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. Do not insert a cable intended for an mSFP transceiver into a
