Remove SFP module from M4250

I have tried a SFP module in my M4250 but it wasn't compatible. I pulled down the metal latch to remove the SFP Module but it doesn't come out. I also have a RJ45 SFP+ 10G module in SFP Slot 1 which is working. I tried to remove this and I wasn't able to remove that one either. Is there a special precedure on the M4250 to remove SFPs.

 

Many thanks

Frank

    Different module vendors unlock mechanism on the modules are not perfect. Sometimes you have to shake or carefully vibrate the modules out of the garage.

      I have managed to remove the SFP by pulling the clip back further and that release the catch.
