Removing SFP/SFP+/XFP transceivers 
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, never look directly into an open transceiver port. 
CAUTION: Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP/SFP+/XFP transceiver, 
because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the 
transceiver. 
Removing and installing a transceiver can shorten the useful life. Do not remove and insert 
transceivers more often than is necessary. 
1.  Disconnect all cables. 
2.  Open the latch. 
3.  Remove the transceiver. (SFP transceiver shown). 
4.  Install dust plugs on the fiber-optic transceiver and rubber plugs on the fiber-optic cable. 
CAUTION: Be sure to install the dust plugs on the fiber-optic transceiver and the rubber plugs on 
the fiber-optic cable. The plugs and caps protect the transceiver ports and cables from 
contamination and ambient light. 
Factory default settings 
The Virtual Connect Delete Domain operation returns all VC-FC modules to the factory default settings. 
VC-FC modules that are physically removed from a VC domain can be returned to the factory default settings 
when placed into a new enclosure by applying power, and then pressing and holding the reset button on the 
front panel for at least 10 seconds. When moved from a VC domain and placed into an enclosure not part 
of a VC domain, VC-FC modules retain assigned mappings until reset to the factory default.
