Removing and Installing SFP Transceivers Caution Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary. We recommend disconnecting cables before installing or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver. Note Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9200 Series. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for the switch. For instructions specific to the transceiver type, see the "SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Specifications" section on page D-22. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family supports SFP transceivers with the following two types of latching devices: • Mylar tab latch (Figure B-6) • Bale-clasp latch (Figure B-7) Figure B-6 SFP Transceiver with Mylar Tab Latch 63065 Figure B-7 SFP Transceiver with Bale-Clasp Latch 63067 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.
