Installing the QSFP+ module
The QSFP+ ports accept supported QSFP+ modules. The QSFP+ module provides
an MTP cable connector for connecting to external ports.
To install the QSFP+ module in the QSFP+ port, complete the following steps.
Note: To avoid damage to the cable or the QSFP+ module, do not connect the
cable before you install the module.
1. Remove the safety cap and pull the locking lever into the down (unlocked)
position.
2. Insert the module into the port until it clicks into place. Use minimal pressure
when you insert the module into the port. Do not use excessive force when you
insert the module; you can damage the module or the QSFP+ port.
The module has a mechanical guide key to prevent you from inserting the
module incorrectly.
3. Pull up the locking lever to lock the module into place.
4. Connect the fiber-optic cable.
To remove the QSFP+ module, disconnect the fiber-optic cable, and pull down
the locking lever to release the module. After you remove the module, replace
the safety cap.
