Installing a QSFP transceiver
3.
To insert the replacement transceiver, use the pull tab on the SFP+ transceiver to carefully push the transceiver into the port.
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.
NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to insert
an SFP+ transceiver into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP+
transceiver into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.
4.
Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the
cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly
oriented.
Installing a QSFP transceiver
The device supports only Brocade-qualified transceivers. If you use an unqualified transceiver, the switchshow command output shows
the port in a Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in the system error log. To insert an QSFP transceiver, complete the following
steps:
NOTE
QSFP transceivers have pull tabs rather then bails. Always use the pull tab to insert or remove the QSFP transceivers, as the
QSFP might be hot.
1.
Use the pull tab on these transceivers to help push the transceiver into the port. 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.
