Figure 11: Inserting a 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceiver in an FC port
NOTE:
SN6600B 32Gb FC Switch only-Each QSFP+ transceiver also has a pull tab. Use the pull tab on
these transceivers to help push the transceiver into the port.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a
transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Push the correctly oriented
transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
