Installing transceiver modules
CAUTION:
•
Keep the dust plug in a transceiver module if you are not to install an optical fiber in it.
• Before you install a transceiver module, remove the optical fiber, if any, from it.
• Keep the dust plug in the SFP+ ports and SFP ports if you are not to install transceiver modules or cables
in the ports.
• Install the dust plugs that come with the LPUs in the QSFP+ ports, CXP ports, CFP ports and CFP2 ports
if you are not to install transceiver modules or cables in the ports.
The transceiver modules available for the switch include SFP, SFP+, CFP, CXP, and QSFP+ modules.
Installing an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+ module
CAUTION:
To avoid component damage, read this section carefully before you install an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+ module.
To install an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+ module:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. For
more information, see "
Attaching an ESD wrist strap ."
2. Unpack the module. Do not touch the golden plating of the module.
3. Pivot the clasp of the module up. Holding the module, gently push the module into the port until it
has firm contact with the port, as shown in Figure 33 .
{
For a QSFP+ module that uses a plastic pull latch, skip this step. QSFP+ modules use either a
metal or plastic pull latch. They are installed in the same way except that you must pivot the
clasp up for the module that uses a metal pull latch.
{
For an SFP+ module, press the module down against the upward force of the bottom spring tab
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.
