QSFP+ Transceivers
Caution:
Transceivers are
static sensitive
devices. Use
an
ESD wrist
strap or similar
grounding device
when handling
transceivers.
Do not
install or
remove
transceivers while
fiber-optic cables
are
still attached.
This can cause
damage to the
cables, cable
connectors,
and the optical
interfaces. It may
also
prevent the
transceiver from
latching correctly
into the socket
connector.
Note: Installing
and removing
transceivers can
shorten their
useful life. Do not
install or remove
transceivers more
than is
necessary.
8
To install the transceivers
1. Properly ground yourself with an ESD wrist strap
or similar grounding device.
2.
Carefully take the device out of the
packaging and check to ensure it is the
correct device
.
3.
Position the transceiver in front of the cage
socket opening and
ensure that the
transceiver is correctly oriented. The latch
should be vertical.
Note: Cage socket
orientation may vary.
Ensure
that the transceiver module is
correctly
oriented each time that you are
inserting a transceiver.
4. Hold the
sides of the transceiver and slide it
into the cage socket until it makes contact
with the electrical connector.

9
5. Press the transceiver firmly into the cage
socket with your thumb.
6.
Verify that the transceiver is latched correctly by
grasping the
sides of the transceiver and trying to
pull it out without
lowering the latch . If the
transceiver cannot be removed, it is installed and
latched correctly. If the
transceiver can be
removed, reinsert it and press harder with your
thumb. If
necessary, repeat this process until the
transceiver is securely latched into the cage
socket.
7. If the Multi-fiber Push On (MPO) connectors
had dust plugs, remove them and set them
aside.
8. Ensure the end faces are clean.
9. If the transceiver had a dust plug for the
optical bore, take it off.
10. Connect the MPO connector with the QSFP+
transceiver.
11.Gently pull on the cable to ensure it is
connected properly. If the cable comes out,
reinsert it until it is fully seated.
Caution: Do not
force the
transceivers into
the cage slots.
If the transceiver
does not easily
slide in and click
into place, it may
not be aligned
correctly or may
be upside down.
If this happens,
remove the
transceiver, realign
it or rotate it and
slide it in again.
Note: Follow
proper fiber-
optic handling
procedures when
installing and
removing
transceivers to
ensure the devices
are not damaged.

10
To remove the transceivers
1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.
2. If
applicable, disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the
transceiver connector and install a clean dust plug in
the
transceiver’s optical bores.
3. Pull the latch out and down into the horizontal
position. If you are
unable to use your finger to open
the
latch, use a small flat-head screwdriver or other
similar tool to open the latch.
4. Install a clean dust plug into the transceiver’s optical
bores.
5. Hold the
sides of the transceiver and carefully pull it
away from the cage socket.
6.
Replace the cap on the cage socket and place the
removed transceiver into an antistatic bag.
