Installing or Removing Transceivers

The SFP and QSFP form-factor optical transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the
beam coming from the transmit port.
Use only supported, genuine HPE or Aruba transceivers with your switch. Consult Datasheets/Quickspecs
n
for a list of supported transceivers and DACs. Use of non-supported transceivers may result in product
malfunction. If you require additional transceivers, contact your authorized Aruba Sales representative.
When handling line modules and transceivers, always wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure it has snug skin

contact and is reliably grounded.
Do not remove the dust plug from a transceiver if you are not going to connect an optical fiber to it.

Before installing a transceiver, first remove any connected optical fiber cable.

transceiver is not installed.
