Installing and removing SFPs in a port blade
To install an SFP, position one of the SFP transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port.
Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
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.
SFP extraction tool
The 4/256 SAN Director provides an SFP extraction tool, secured to the inside of the chassis door.
See Figure 37.
The SFP extraction tool is designed to remove SFPs from an FC4-32 port blade, where the space is
minimal and it is more difficult to fit fingers.
To use the SFP extraction tool, slide the SFP extraction tool on to the bale of the SFP and pull it out.
