Removing the SFP transceiver
Note You should disconnect the network cable from the SFP transceiver before
removing it from the switch.
Depending on when you purchased your HP SFP transceiver, it may have

the transceiver, a plastic collar around the transceiver, or a wire bail.
To remove the transceivers that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the
tab or collar toward the switch until you see the transceiver release from the
switch (you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.
To remove the transceivers that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is
approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the transceiver from
the slot.
Replace the protective plastic cover on the transceiver.
Connecting Cables to SFP transceivers
If you have any SFP transceivers installed in the switch, the type of network
connections you will need to use depends on the type of transceivers you have
installed. See appendix B, “Cabling and Technology Information”, for cabling
information.
For SFP transceiver ports, and in general for all the switch ports, when a
network cable from an active network device is connected to the port, the port
LED for that port should go on. If the port LED does not go on when the
