Installing a QSFP transceiver
The device supports only Brocade-qualified transceivers. If you use an unqualified transceiver, the
switchshow
command output shows
the port in a Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in the system error log. To insert an QSFP transceiver, complete the following
steps:
NOTE
QSFP transceivers have pull tabs rather then bails. Always use the pull tab to insert or remove the QSFP transceivers, as the
QSFP might be hot.
1. Use the pull tab on these transceivers to help push the transceiver into the port. Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be
inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Push the correctly
oriented transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.

2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the
cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented. Do not insert any unsupported cable intended for an other type of transceiver into a regular QSFP
transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
Replacing a QSFP transceiver
Complete the following steps to remove and then install a new QSFP transceiver.
