Connecting an SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP+ to SFP+ cable
Use SFP+ cables to connect SFP+ ports, QSFP+ cables to connect QSFP+ ports, and QSFP+ to SFP+
cables to connect QSFP+ and SFP+ ports. All these cables are hot swappable.
To connect an SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP+ to SFP+ cable:
1.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded. For more information, see "

2.
Unpack the cable.
3.
Plug the cable connector into the port. Make sure the cable connector is the right side up.
The bend radius of the cable must be at least eight times the cable diameter.
