Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch Send documentation comments to [email protected] Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Remove the dust cover from the port cage. Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver. Insert the transceiver into the port: • If the transceiver has a Mylar tab, position the transceiver with the tab on the bottom, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place. • If the transceiver has a bale clasp, position the transceiver with the clasp on the bottom, close the clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place. Caution If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned and the tab or clasp are in the correct position before continuing. Note If you cannot install the cable into the transceiver, insert or leave the dust plug in the cable end of the transceiver. Removing an SFP Transceiver To remove an SFP transceiver, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use. If a cable is installed in the transceiver: a. Record the cable and port connections for later reference. b. Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the connector from the transceiver. c. Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver. Caution 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. Step 3 Remove the transceiver from the port: • 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. Note If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP transceiver, you should reseat the SFP by returning the bale clasp to the up position. Press the SFP inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale clasp and pull the SFP straight out with a slight upward lifting force (see Figure 3-3). Be careful not to damage the port cage during this process.

•
If the transceiver has a Mylar tab, position the transceiver with the tab on the bottom, and then gently
insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
•
If the transceiver has a bale clasp, position the transceiver with the clasp on the bottom, close the
clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until
it clicks into place.
Caution
If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned and the tab or
clasp are in the correct position before continuing.
