Installing the QSFP Transceiver Module
Caution
The QSFP transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual
grounding device when handling QSFP transceiver modules or coming into contact with system modules.
The QSFP transceiver module has a pull-tab latch. To install a QSFP transceiver module, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap to yourself and a properly grounded point on the chassis or the rack.
Step 2
Remove the transceiver module from its protective packaging.
Step 3 Check the label on the transceiver module body to verify that you have the correct model for your network. Do not remove
the dust plug until you're ready to attach the network interface cable. Dust plug is not shown in the images.
Step 4 Hold the transceiver by the pull-tab so that the identifier label is on the top.
Step 5
Align the transceiver module in front of the module's transceiver socket opening and carefully slide the transceiver into
the socket until the transceiver makes contact with the socket electrical connector (see the figure below).

Step 6
Press firmly on the front of the transceiver module with your thumb to fully seat the transceiver in the module's transceiver
socket (see the below figure).
If the latch is not fully engaged, you might accidentally disconnect the transceiver module.
