products/specifications.asp.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an
ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the Z9000 and its components.
WARNING: Follow all warning labels when working with optical fibers. Always wear eye protection when
working with optical fibers. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fiber or connector
as it may cause eye damage.
To install QSFP+ optics into an open port, follow the steps below:

NOTE:
Remove the QSFP+ optics
Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.
When removing optics with Direct Attach Cables (DACs), pull the release tab firmly and steadily to
remove the optic from the port. You may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure it is seated
properly, prior to pulling the tab.
Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the tab.
