Required Tools and Equipment
You need these tools to install the transceiver modules:
• Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent ESD occurrences.
• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the transceiver on.
• Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment.

Transceiver Module
The QSFP+, QSFP28, or QSFP-DD transceiver module can have either a bale-clasp latch or a pull-tab latch.
Installation procedures for both types of latches are provided.
Note
The QSFP+, QSFP28, or QSFP-DD transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist
strap or similar individual grounding device when handling QSFP+, QSFP28, or QSFP-DD transceiver modules
or coming into contact with system modules.
Caution
To install an QSFP+, QSFP28, or QSFP-DD transceiver module, follow these steps:
1.
Attach an ESD wrist strap to yourself and a properly grounded point on the chassis or the rack.
2.
Remove the transceiver module from its protective packaging.
3.
Check the label on the transceiver module body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
4.
For transceiver modules, remove the optical bore dust plug and set it aside.
5.
For transceiver modules equipped with a pull-tab, hold the transceiver so that the identifier label is on the
top.
6.
For transceiver modules equipped with a bale clasp latch, keep the bale clasp aligned in a vertical position.
7.
Align the transceiver module in front of the module’s transceiver socket opening and carefully slide the
transceiver into the socket until the transceiver makes contact with the socket electrical connector (see
the figure below).
