Removing the QSFP+ or QSFP28 Transceiver Module from the Supervisor PIC
Before you begin
Caution
Do not install or remove the QSFP28 module with fiber-optic cables still attached to it. Doing so may damage
cables, cable connectors, or the optical interfaces and may interfere with the QSFP28 module latching properly
into its socket connector. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an QSFP28 module.
Caution The QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or
similar individual grounding device when handling QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules or coming into
contact with modules.
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug connected
to the chassis.
Required Tools and Equipment
• Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent ESD occurrences.
• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the transceiver on.
• Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment.
Step 1
For optical QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules, disconnect the network interface cable from the QSFP+ or QSFP28
transceiver connector.
Step 2
For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules equipped with a bail-clasp latch (see the below figure, top view):
a) Pivot the bail-clasp down to the horizontal position.
b) Immediately install the dust plug into the transceivers optical bore.
c) Grasp the sides of the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver and slide it out of the module socket.
Step 3 For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceivers equipped with a pull tab latch (see the below figure, bottom view):
a) Immediately install the dust plug into the transceiver's optical bore.
b) Grasp the tab and gently pull to release the transceiver from the socket.
c) Slide the transceiver out of the socket.
