FIGURE 65 Replacing a SFP+ optical transceiver with pull tab into the interface module port
1. Pull tab 2. Transceiver
3. To install the transceiver, perform one of the following steps depending on your transceiver type:
• If transceiver has a pull tab, use the pull tab to help push the transceiver into the port until it is rmly seated and the latching
mechanism clicks.
• If transceiver has a bail latch mechanism, ensure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, grasp the transceiver,
and push it into the port until rmly seated. Close the bail to latch the transceiver in the slot.
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.
4. Position a 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.
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.
Installing a QSFP28 transceiver
While non-Extreme optics are supported, Extreme-qualied transceivers are recommended. The port might not become operational or it
may have a higher error rate using unqualied transceivers.
The following additional notes apply to the QSFP28 transceivers:
• While non-Extremeoptics are supported,Extreme-qualied transceivers are recommended.
If using 40GbE-to-10GbE breakouts, each QSFP28 transceiver contains four individual 10 GbE ports. Be aware that any
problems with one port could aect all four ports in the quad if the QSFP28 must be replaced.
• Some QSFP28 transceivers have an integrated cable attached. You do not need to install a separate cable.
