Removing a QSFP28 transceiver
Remove a QSFP 28 transceiver to replace it or to commission it elsewhere.
Before you begin
Danger:
Risk of eye injury by laser
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into
an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light
source.
Electrostatic alert:
ESD can damage electronic circuits. Do not touch electronic hardware unless you wear a
grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the network fiber optic cable from the transceiver connector.
2. Grasp the pull-tab and slide the transceiver out of the module slot.
If the transceiver does not slide easily from the module slot, use a gentle side-to-side rocking
motion while firmly pulling the transceiver from the slot.
3. Remove connector from transceiver and affix dust covers over the fiber optic bore and
connector.
4. Store the transceiver in a safe place until needed.
Important:
If you discard the transceiver, dispose of it according to all national laws and regulations.
QSFP28 transceiver specifications
This section provides technical specifications for the supported 100 Gigabit QSFP28 transceiver
models. Use these specifications to aid in network design.
All Avaya QSFP28 transceivers support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM).
Important:
The switches operate in strict mode for QSFP28 transceivers, which means that the switch will
not bring the port up operationally when using non-Avaya QSFP28 transceivers.
