Required Tools and Equipment

You need these tools to install the 40-Gigabit QSFP+ / 100-Gigabit QSFP28 transceiver modules:

• Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent ESD occurrences.

• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the transceiver on.

• Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment.

For information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, see

Cables.

Installing the 40-Gigabit QSFP+ or 100-Gigabit Transceiver Module

The QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module can have either a bail-clasp latch or a pull-tab latch. Installation

procedures for both types of latches are provided.

Caution

The QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or

similar individual grounding device when handling QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules or coming into

contact with system modules.

To install an QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module, follow these steps:

Step 1

Attach an ESD wrist strap to yourself and a properly grounded point on the chassis or the rack.

Step 2

Remove the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module from its protective packaging.

Step 3

Check the label on the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module body to verify that you have the correct model for your

network.

Step 4

For optical QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules, remove the optical bore dust plug and set it aside.

Step 5

For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules equipped with a pull-tab, hold the transceiver so that the identifier label is

on the top.

Step 6

For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules equipped with a bail-clasp latch, keep the bail-clasp aligned in a vertical

position.

Step 7

Align the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module in front of the module's transceiver socket opening and carefully slide

the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver into the socket until the transceiver makes contact with the socket electrical connector

(see the figure below).
