Avid recommends that you prepare the adapter boards one at a time to ensure that you replace
the SFP+ transceiver into the same adapter board that you removed it from.
To prepare the Chelsio adapter boards for installation:
1. Remove the SFP+ transceiver from the back of the Chelsio adapter board as follows:
a.
Remove the rubber insert protector from the transceiver.
b.
Flip open the latch on the end of the transceiver.
c.
Pull out the transceiver and set it aside.
The following illustration shows the SFP+ transceiver with the latch open.
