4. Pivot the locking levers into the closed position.
5. Tighten the restraining screws on each end of the module.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for any additional line modules you want to install.
NOTE: If the switch configuration has no information about any module in a slot (i.e. in a
default configuration, a line module installed in that slot boots up when power is applied. But
if the slot is configured for a different type of line module than installed in the slot, then the
installed line module does not boot up when power is applied. See Using controlled shut
down to add or replace line modules..
Installing or removing transceivers
WARNING: The SFP and QSFP form-factor optical transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid
direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
CAUTION:
• Use only supported, genuine HPE or Aruba transceivers with your switch. Consult
Datasheets/Quickspecs for a list of supported transceivers and DACs.
Use of non-supported transceivers may result in product malfunction. If you require
additional transceivers, contact your authorized Aruba Sales representative.
• When handling line modules and transceivers, always wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure it
has snug skin contact and is reliably grounded.
• Do not remove the dust plug from a transceiver if you are not going to connect an optical
fiber to it.
• Before installing a transceiver, first remove any connected optical fiber cable.
• To prevent particles from entering unused transceiver ports, keep dust plugs in any ports
where a transceiver is not installed.
