Installing QSFP+ Transceivers
The QSFP+ transceiver module can have either a bail-clasp latch or a pull-tab latch.
Caution
The QSFP+ transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar
individual grounding device when handling QSFP+ transceiver modules or coming into contact with
system modules.
Step 1
Attach an ESD wrist strap to yourself and a properly grounded point on the chassis or the rack. Follow its instructions
for use.
Step 2
Remove the QSFP+ transceiver module from its protective packaging.
Step 3
Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver.
Step 4
Check the label on the QSFP+ transceiver module body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
Step 5
For optical QSFP+ transceivers, remove the optical bore dust plug and set it aside.
Step 6
For transceivers equipped with a bail-clasp latch, do the following:
a) Keep the bail-clasp aligned in a vertical position.
b) Align the QSFP+ transceiver in front of the module's transceiver socket opening and carefully slide the QSFP+
transceiver into the socket until the transceiver makes contact with the socket electrical connector.
Step 7
For QSFP+ transceivers equipped with a pull-tab, do the following:
a) Hold the transceiver so that the identifier label is on the top.
b) Align the QSFP+ transceiver in front of the module's transceiver socket opening and carefully slide the QSFP+
transceiver into the socket until the transceiver makes contact with the socket electrical connector.
