Note If the switch is powered on when the transceiver is installed, the Link and

Mode LEDs will come on for approximately two seconds and then go off. This

is confirmation the transceiver is completely seated.

d. If your transceiver has a bail, move the bail up, if not your transceiver is

now completely installed.

Refer to Fiber-Optic Cables page 39 for more transceiver details.

To remove the transceiver:

If your transceiver has a bail, lower the bail until it is approximately horizontal,

and then using the bail, pull the transceiver from the slot. If your transceiver

does not have a bail, pull the transceiver straight out.
