Connecting a QSFP+/QSFP28 cable
CAUTION:
When you connect a fiber cable, make sure the bend radius of the cable is not less than eight times
the fiber diameter.
The cables are hot swappable.
Use QSFP+ cables to connect QSFP+ ports and QSFP28 cables to connect QSFP28 ports.
To connect a QSFP+/QSFP28 cable:
1.
Unpack the cable.
2.
Plug the cable connector into the port. Make sure the cable connector is correctly oriented.
