Page 34: Transceiver Option
Connect all peripheral cables to the server. Power up the server on page 14. IMPORTANT: If you have installed the HPE EDR InfiniBand/Ethernet 100Gb single-port 841OCP QSFP28 Adapter, use a passive direct attach copper cable (DACC). An active optical cable (AOC) is not supported. -
Page 35: Installing A Transceiver
CAUTION: Supported transceivers can be hot-swapped—removed and installed while the server is powered-on. However, to prevent potential damage to the transceiver or the fiber-optic cable, disconnect the cable from the transceiver before hot-swapping it. CAUTION: Do not remove and install transceivers more often than is necessary. Doing so can shorten the useful life of the transceiver. - Page 36 4. Make sure that the NIC link LED on the SFP+ port is solid green. For more information on the QSFP port LED behavior, see the documentation that ships with the QSFP transceiver. 5. If needed, see the transceiver documentation for the model-specific fastening mechanism applicable to the transceiver.
