b Ensure that the bale-clasp latch on the SFP is closed
as illustrated in Figure 2. The bale-clasp latch handle
should be on top of the SFP module.
c With the SFP label facing away from you, align the
SFP with the connector cage, and then gently but
firmly insert the SFP until it is seated securely, indi-
cated by an audible click, or by feeling the SFP snap
into place.
CAUTION: DAMAGE TO UNIT:
If you feel any resistance when first inserting the SFP
into the cage, do not force it any further. The bottom of
the SFP may be obstructed by the latch tab in the cage,
and forcing it any further may damage the cage.
If this occurs, do the following:
Remove the SFP, then push the latch tab in the cage
down.
Verify that the bale-clasp latch on the SFP is
completely closed, re-align the SFP with the cage, and
then insert it again.

NOTE:
The user interface may show the SFP as available before it
is seated securely. Be sure to insert the SFP until you hear
the click or feel it snap into place.
