QSFP28 Transceiver Installation
The SSE-C3632S/R provides 32 QSFP28 ports. The procedure for installing a QSFP28 transceiver is
shown below:
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap (or antistatic gloves).
2. Insert the QSFP28 transceiver to the guide rail inside the QSFP28 port. Do not insert the
QSFP28 transceiver up-side-down.
3. Push the QSFP28 transceiver along the guide rail gently until you feel the transceiver snap into
place at the bottom of the QSFP28 port.
Note:
The QSFP28 transceiver is hot swappable.
Caution:
Do not stare directly at the 2 fiber bore in the QSFP transceiver when the switch is in
operation, otherwise the laser may damage your eyes.
Copper Cable/Fiber Cable Connection
Copper cables should be connected as below:
1. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the switch copper port.
2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of other device.
Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lighted LED indicates that the link has been
established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be examined.
Caution:
Please verify the label above the port to ensure you are using the right port. Connecting to
wrong ports might damage the switch.
Fiber cables should be connected as described below.
1: Remove the protective plug from the QSFP28 fiber transceiver bore; Remove the protective
cap from one end of the fiber cable. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
2: Attach one end of the fiber cable to the QSFP28 transceiver, and attach the other end to the
transceiver of the corresponding devices.
Note:
The QSFP28
transceiver’s TX port should be connected to the RX port of the corresponding
device, and vice versa.
3: Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has been established;
otherwise the link is not ready and should be examined.
