4. Lock the transceiver.
5. Verify that the LED is green and blinks twice, which indicates that the transceiver
is functioning correctly.
6. If you are using a fiber 1G SFP transceiver, do not remove the dust caps attached
to the transceiver and the cable until you are ready to insert the cable.
To remove a 1G SFP transceiver
1. Disconnect the cable from the 1G SFP transceiver. If you are using a fiber optic
cable, replace the dust cap on the cable before putting it away.
Danger: Do not look directly into fiber optic transceivers or cables. They emit
laser beams that can damage your eyes.
2. Unlock the 1G SFP transceiver.
3. Hold the 1G SFP transceiver between your thumb and index finger and slowly pull
it out of the port.
4. If you are removing a fiber 1G SFP transceiver, replace the dust cap before putting
it away.
5. Put the 1G SFP transceiver into its original box or another appropriate container.

A 10-Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (XFP or SFP+) is a compact optical
transceiver that can operate at speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second. The 12000 10G,
MPX 15000, and MPX 17000 appliances use XFP transceivers and the MPX
8200/8400/8600/8800, MPX 9700/10500/12500/15500, MPX
11500/13500/14500/16500/18500/20500, MPX 17500/19500/21500, MPX
17550/19550/20550/21550, and MPX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 appliances use
10G SFP+ transceivers. Autonegotiation is enabled by default on the XFP/10G SFP+
ports into which you insert your XFP/10G SFP+ transceiver. As soon as a link between
the port and the network is established, the mode is matched on both ends of the
cable and for 10G SFP+ transceivers, the speed is also autonegotiated.
Note: An XFP transceiver is not hot-swappable on the NetScaler appliances. You
must restart a NetScaler appliance after you insert an XFP transceiver.
