Replacing a QSFP transceiver
Complete the following steps to replace a QSFP transceiver.
1.
Position the new QSFP transceiver so that the key is oriented correctly to the port.
2.
Grasping the edges of the transceiver, gently push it into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. If
your transceiver has a bail release, pull the bail up to lock the transceiver in place.
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.
3.
Remove the protective plug from the transceiver.
4.
Position the 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.
