Modules webpage on www.broadcom.com. If you use an unqualified transceiver, the
switchshow
command output
shows the port in a Mod_Inv state. The issue is also logged in the system error log.
To insert an SFP+ transceiver, complete the following steps:
NOTE
The 32Gb/s and 64Gb/s SFP+ transceivers do not have bails. Always use the pull tab to insert or remove the
transceivers, since the transceiver might be hot.
1. Use the pull tab on the 32Gb/s and 64Gb/s SFP+ transceivers to help push the transceiver into the port.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide
in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Push the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching
mechanism clicks.
NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position
to insert an SFP+ transceiver into an upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to
insert an SFP+ transceiver into a lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.

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 another type of transceiver into a
regular SFP+ transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
Replacing an SFP+ Transceiver
To remove an SFP+ transceiver and then install a new SFP+ transceiver, complete the following steps.
NOTE
Replacing an SFP+ transceiver may cause disruption in the fabric or to the attached device.
