Insert the dust plug into the fiber port.
Installing and removing a pull latch transceiver
module
This installation procedure is applicable to QSFP-DD, QSFP28, CXP, and QSFP+ transceiver
modules.
The pull latch of transceiver modules can be plastic or rubber. The installation procedure is similar.
The following procedure uses a rubber pull latch as an example.
Installation procedure
1.
Remove the dust plug from the target fiber port.
2.
As shown in
, correctly orient the transceiver module and align it with the fiber port.
Push it gently into the port until you feel it snap into place.
Transceiver modules and fiber ports have disorientation rejection designs. If you cannot insert
a transceiver module easily into a port, the orientation might be wrong. Remove and reorient
the transceiver module.
In case of limited space, you can gently push against the front face of the transceiver module
instead of the two sides.

3.
Grasping the fiber connector between your thumb and index finger, align it with the transceiver
module optical bore and push it into the optical bore.
Transceiver module optical bores and fiber connectors have disorientation rejection designs. If
you cannot insert a fiber connector easily into a transceiver module bore, the orientation might
be wrong. Remove and reorient the connector.
