Press the transceiver firmly into the cage
socket with your thumb.

Verify that the transceiver is latched correctly by
grasping the sides of the transceiver and trying to
pull it out without lowering the latch. If the
transceiver cannot be removed, it is installed and
latched correctly. If the transceiver can be
removed, reinsert it and press harder with your
thumb. If necessary, repeat this process until the
transceiver is securely latched into the cage
socket.

had dust plugs, remove them and set them
aside.

optical bore, take it off.
10. Connect the MPO connector with the QSFP+
transceiver.

Gently pull on the cable to ensure it is
connected properly. If the cable comes out,
reinsert it until it is fully seated.
Caution:
Do not
force the
transceivers into
the cage slots.
If the transceiver
does not easily
slide in and click
into place, it may
not be aligned
correctly or may
be upside down.
If this happens,
remove the
transceiver, realign
it or rotate it and
slide it in again.
Note:
Follow
proper fiber-
optic handling
procedures when
installing and
removing
transceivers to
ensure the devices
are not damaged.
