Introduction
Installing a 16 Gbps SFP+ in the upper row of port slot
Installing an 8 Gbps SFP+ in the upper row of port slot
Before installing an SFP+ or QSFP transceiver, be aware of the following information:
The housing on the transceiver includes an integral guide key that is designed to prevent you
from inserting the transceiver incorrectly.
Use minimal pressure when you insert the transceiver into the port. Forcing the transceiver
into the port can cause damage to the transceiver or the switch port.
You can insert or remove the transceiver while the chassis is powered on.
You must first insert the transceiver into the port before connecting the cables.
You must remove the cable from the transceiver before you remove the transceiver from the
switch.
