Chapter 7: Installing the Stacking QSFP+ Transceivers
Installing AT-QSFPSR4 or AT-QSFPLR4 Transceivers
100
This section contains the procedure for installing AT-QSFPSR4 or AT-
QSFPLR4 transceivers in the QSFP+ slots 17 and 21.
Note
The cables of the stack trunk must crossover to different QSFP+
slots. The transceiver in slot 17 in one switch must connect to slot 21
in the other switch. For more information, refer to Figure 11 on page
40.
Please review "Guidelines to Handling SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+
Transceivers" on page 119 before performing this procedure.
To build a stack trunk with AT-QSFPSR4 or AT-QSFPLR4 transceivers,
perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the dust covers from QSFP+ slots 17 and 21 from one of the
switches to be in the stack. Refer to Figure 55.
2. Slide the QSFP+ transceivers into the slots until they click into place.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install QSFP+ transceivers in the other switch
in the stack.
4. Attach the fiber optic cables to the transceivers in both switches. When
connecting the cables, remember that the cables must crossover to
different slots. For more information, refer to Figure 11 on page 40.
5. Go to Chapter 8, "Powering On and Verifying the Stack" on page 105.
Note
To remove the connector and cable from the slot, gently push on the
connector, pull on the release tab, and slide the connector from the
slot.
