To install a SFP+/QSFP transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP+/ QSFP
transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector
facing down. Note that SFP+/ QSFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in
one orientation.
3. Slide the SFP+/ QSFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
NOTE:
• SFP+.QSFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be
powered off before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always rst
disconnect the network cable before removing a transceiver.
• SFP+/QSFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
