SFP+ transceiver removal and replacement
4
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.
The 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers have an attached pull tab. Instead of using the tool, simply
grasp the pull tab and pull straight out to remove the 16 Gbps SFP+ transceiver from the
switch.
