5. Press the transceiver firmly into the 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

transceiver connector and install a clean dust plug in the
transceiver’s optical bores.

transceiver. If you are unable to use your finger to open
the lever, use a small flat-head screwdriver or other
similar tool to open the lever.
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: Do not
force the SFP
transceivers into
the cage slots.

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
proper fiber-
optic handling
procedures when
installing and
removing
SFP transceivers
to ensure the

clean and are not
damaged.
