The QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or
similar individual grounding device when handling QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules or coming into
contact with system modules.
Caution
To install an QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module, follow these steps:
1. Attach an ESD wrist strap to yourself and a properly grounded point on the chassis or the rack.
2. Remove the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module from its protective packaging.
3. Check the label on the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module body to verify that you have the correct
model for your network.
4. For optical QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules, remove the optical bore dust plug and set it aside.
5. For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules equipped with a bail-clasp latch, keep the bail-clasp aligned
in a vertical position.
Align the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module in front of the module’s transceiver socket opening and
carefully slide the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver into the socket until the transceiver makes contact with
the socket electrical connector (see the figure below).
6. For QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules equipped with a pull-tab, hold the transceiver so that the
identifier label is on the top.
Align the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module in front of the module’s transceiver socket opening and
carefully slide the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver into the socket until the transceiver makes contact with
the socket electrical connector.

7. Press firmly on the front of the QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module with your thumb to fully seat the
transceiver in the module’s transceiver socket (see the below figure).
