Installing an XFP/SFP+/SFP/QSFP+ transceiver module
CAUTION:
•
To avoid component damage, read this section carefully before installing a transceiver module.
•
Do not remove the dust plug from a transceiver module before connecting an optical fiber.
•
Remove the optical fiber, if any, from a transceiver module before installing it.
To install a transceiver module:
1.
Unpack the module. Do not touch the golden finger of the transceiver module.
2.
Remove the dust cover from the fiber port on the chassis.
3.
Remove the dust plug from the transceiver module.
4.
Pivot the clasp of the transceiver module up. Holding the transceiver module, gently push the
module into the slot until it has firm contact with the slot (when the bottom spring tabs catch in
the slot).
{
For a QSFP+ module that uses a plastic pull latch, skip this step. QSFP+ modules use
either a metal or plastic pull latch. They are installed in the same way except that you must
pivot the clasp up for the module that uses a metal pull latch.
{
For an SFP+ module, press the module down against the upward force of the bottom spring
tab so you can push the module straight into the port.
{
If you cannot hold the module by its two sides because of high module density, press the
module on its head end to push it in.
