Removing Transceivers
To remove a transceiver:
1. Disconnect the network cable from the transceiver before removing it
from the module.
2. If your transceiver has a wire bail, lower the bail and then use the bail to
pull the transceiver from the slot.
If your transceiver does not have a bail, pull the transceiver straight out.
(Optional) Installing an Optical Media Converter
An optical media converter (OMC) can be installed into the copper transceiver
to enable a fiber-optic cable connection.
To install a media converter:
1. Connect the media converter to the copper transceiver port until it clicks
into place.

goes Orange when it has power but no link, and goes Green when a link
is established with the other end of a 12-strand flat MTP cable.
To remove a media converter:

from the module.
