Installing an SFP+/SFP/QSFP+ module
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded. For more information, see " Attaching an ESD-preventive wrist strap ."
2. Unpack the module. Do not touch the golden finger of the module.
3. Pivot the clasp of the module up. Holding the module, gently push the module into the slot until it
has firm contact with the slot, as shown in
Figure 25 .
{
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.
