Installing transceiver modules
CAUTION:
•
To prevent particles from entering the ports, keep the dust plugs in the SFP+ if you are not to
install transceiver modules or cables in the ports.
•
To prevent particles from entering the ports, install the dust plugs that come with the service
modules in the QSFP28 ports if you are not to install transceiver modules or cables in the ports.
Installing an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+/QSFP28 module
CAUTION:
•
Read the following instructions before you install an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+/QSFP28 module. Failure
to follow these instructions might cause damage to the SFP+/SFP/QSFP+/QSFP28 module.
•
Do not remove the dust plug from the SFP+/SFP/QSFP+/QSFP28 module if you are not to
connect an optical fiber to the module.
•
Before you install an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+/QSFP28 module, remove the optical fiber (if any) from
it.
To install an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+/QSFP28 module:
1.
Unpack the module.
Do not touch the golden plating of the module.
2.
Pivot the clasp of the module up.
For a QSFP+ module that uses a plastic pull latch, skip this step.
3.
Hold the module by its two sides and align the module with the port. Gently push the module
into the port until it has firm contact with the port, as shown in
{
For an SFP+ module, press the module down so you can push the module straight into the
port.
{
If you cannot hold the module by its two sides because of high module density, press the
module on its head end to push it in.
