40G channelization

Channelization allows you to configure each 40Gbps QSFP+ ports to operate as four separate
10Gbps ports. You can use QSFP+ to four SFP+ breakout cables or QSFP+ transceivers with fiber
breakout cables to connect the 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to other servers, storage, and switches. By
default, the ports are not channelized, which means that the 40Gbps QSFP+ ports operate as
40Gbps ports. You can enable or disable channelization on a port.
For breakout cable (BOC) details, see Installing Transceivers and Optical Components on VSP
Operating System Software, NN47227-301.

Electrostatic discharge

This section provides information and procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge during
installation.

Description
You can hot swap power supplies while the switch is operational. One power
supply is required for continuous switch operation.
Any ESM can be hot swapped or replaced with the same ESM type. The rest of
the configuration continues to work as original until the ESM comes online, after
which the configuration for that ESM is applied.
Any ESM except the 8424XT, 8418XTQ, 8424GS, and 8424GT can be hot
swapped or replaced with 8418XSQ, 8424XS, or 8408QQ. The rest of the
configuration continues to work as original until the replacement ESM comes
online. When the replacement ESM is online the previous configuration for that
slot is removed from the running configuration. The new ESM type can now be
configured.
The 8424XT, 8418XTQ, 8424GS and 8424GT ESMs can only be hot swapped
or replaced with another ESM of the same type. The rest of the configuration
continues to work as original until the ESM comes online, after which the
configuration for that ESM is applied.
Upon pulling out an 8424XT, 8418XTQ, 8424GS, or 8424GT ESM, and
inserting another type of ESM, the new module is powered off without any
initialization and the system must be rebooted to utilize that slot. An alarm or
message is logged to indicate that slot is powered off and requires the insertion
of the previous card type to restore the related configuration.
Upon pulling out an 8418XSQ, 8424XS, or 8408QQ and inserting an 8424XT,
8418XTQ, 8424GS, or 8424GT, the newly inserted ESM is powered off without
any initialization and the system must be rebooted to utilize that slot. An alarm
or message is logged to indicate that slot is powered off and requires the
insertion of the previous card type to restore the related configuration.
