To install a SFP+/QSFP transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP+/ QSFP

transceiver type.

2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector

facing down. Note that SFP+/ QSFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in

one orientation.

3. Slide the SFP+/ QSFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.

NOTE:

SFP+/QSFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to

be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always

first disconnect the network cable before removing a transceiver.

SFP+/QSFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
