The QSFP transceivers are used only with the FC16-64 port blades and core switch blades. Refer to "Qualified
transceivers for the FC16-64 and CR16-x blades" in this publication for a list of QSFPs qualified for these blades.
•
For QSFPs with separate transceivers and optical cables, it is recommended that the cable be either removed from or
inserted into the QSFP while the transceiver is out of the blade due to the port density.
•
The pull tabs on QSFPs are not designed to be bent. Doing so may result in damage to the pull tab.
