NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to insert an
SFP+ transceiver in the upper row of ports is with the gold-plated edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP+
transceiver in the lower row of ports is with the gold-plated edge up.

Installing a FC SFP+
For FC port operation using the FlexPort feature, the VDX 6740 supports Extreme-branded 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps SFP+ optical
transceivers. These transceivers support any combination of Short Wavelength (SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), and Extended Long
Wavelength (ELWL) optical media. The VDX 6740T supports 4x16G QSFP+ SW transceivers on 40 GbE ports for Fibre Channel
operation.
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.
Complete the following steps to install an SFP+ transceiver. Refer to the following figures.
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, position the optical transceiver so that the key is oriented
correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks, and then close
the bail.
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.
