Installing an Optional QSFP/QSFP28 Transceiver

The QSFP28 slots support the following optional QSFP/QSFP28 transceivers:
• 100GBASE-SR4
• 100GBASE-LR4
• 100GBASE AOC (Active Optical Cable)
• 100GBASE DAC (Direct Attached Cable)
• 100G to 4x25G AOC
To install a QSFP/QSFP28 transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate QSFP/QSFP28
transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector
facing down. Note that QSFP/QSFP28 transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed
in one orientation.
3. Slide the QSFP/QSFP28 transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
