Installing a QSFP28 transceiver
•
Some QSFP28 transceivers have an integrated cable attached. You do not need to install a separate
cable.
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 firmly seated and the latching
mechanism clicks.
