To insert an QSFP28 transceiver and cable, complete the following steps.
1. Push the transceiver into the port using the pull tab. 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 rmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
NOTE
Always use the transceiver pull tab to insert or remove the QSFP28 transceivers, as the transceiver might be hot.

After insertion, the LEDs have the following status:
• O - no link
• On - link, no trac
• Rapid ash - link with trac
• Slow ash (one second on, one second o) - beaconing feature
2. Position the cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert
the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
NOTE
If your transceiver has an integrated cable, you do not need to install a cable.
NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented. Do not insert any unsupported cable intended for another type of transceiver into a regular
QSFP28 transceiver. You may damage the cable as well as the transceiver.
3. Organize cables to avoid covering LEDs and air vents so that LCs can be removed. Refer to Managing cables on page 127 for
more information.
