Removing a QSFP+ transceiver
Remove a QSFP+ 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 connect to a light
source.
Electrostatic alert:
Risk of equipment damage
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, always wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) jack.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the network fiber optic cable from the QSFP+ connector.
2. Grasp the pull-tab and slide the QSFP+ transceiver out of the module QSFP+ slot.
If the QSFP+ transceiver does not slide easily from the module slot, use a gentle side-to-side
rocking motion while firmly pulling the QSFP+ transceiver from the slot.
3. Remove connector from transceiver and affix dust covers over the fiber optic bore and
connector.
4. Store the QSFP+ transceiver in a safe place until needed.
Important:
If you discard the QSFP+ transceiver, dispose of it according to all national laws and
regulations.
