FIGURE 63 Installing an SFP+ transceiver with bail latch into the interface module port
1. Bail
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.
NOTE
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 any unsupported cable intended for an other type of transceiver into a regular SFP+
transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver
