Record the cable and port connections for later reference.
Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull
the connector from the transceiver.
Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
If the transceiver does not remove easily in the next step, push the transceiver completely in
and then ensure that the latch is in the correct position before continuing.
If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, gently pull the tab straight out (do not twist), and then pull
the transceiver out of the port.
If the transceiver has a bale clasp latch, open the clasp by pressing it downwards, and then pull the
transceiver out of the port.
If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP+ transceiver, you should reseat it by returning
the bale clasp to the up position. Press the SFP+ transceiver inward and upward into the cage.
Next, lower the bale clasp and pull the SFP+ transceiver straight out with a slight upward lifting
force (see Figure 4-2). Be careful not to damage the port cage during this process.
