• If the SFP transceiver module has an actuator button latch, gently press the actuator button on the

front of the SFP transceiver module until it clicks and the latch mechanism releases the SFP

transceiver module from the socket connector. Grasp the actuator button between your thumb and

index finger, and carefully pull the SFP transceiver module straight from the module slot.

If the SFP transceiver module has a bail clasp latch, pull the latch out and down to eject the SFP

transceiver module from the socket connector. If the bail clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot

use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument

to open the bail clasp latch. Grasp the SFP transceiver module between your thumb and index finger,

and carefully remove it from the socket.
