transceivers should be installed in the blades before connecting the cables. As each QSFP contains four 16-Gbps ports,
be aware that any problems with one port could affect all four ports in the quad if the QSFP must be replaced.
1. Position one of the QSFP transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the
port until it is firmly seated.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in
easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
When the transceiver is correctly seated, the status LED will flash amber several times and then turn solid amber.
2. Remove the protective cap from the special QSFP cable and insert it into the transceiver until it is firmly seated.
The cables are also keyed to fit into the transceivers correctly.
When the cable is correctly seated, the status LED will change from amber to green.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the remaining QSFP ports.
3. Organize the cables. Refer to information on managing cables in this installation guide.
4. Verify the device and connector and port status using the switchShow -qsfp command.
NOTE
The following example is from a DCX chassis with four slots for port blades and a core blade installed in
slot 3. Some details for a chassis with eight slots for ports blades will display differently, but the reported
information for the QSFPs will be similar.
QSFP 7 (ports 3/28-3/31, Index 748-751) in the following example shows the results for a connected QSFP.
