Install the QSFP+ Optics
The Z9000 has 32 QSFP+ optical ports. For supported optics, refer to

.
WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or
heel ground strap when handling the Z9000 system and its components.
WARNING: When working with optical fibers, follow all warning labels and always wear eye protection. 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 these steps:
Remove the QSFP+ Optics
Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.
When removing an optic with Direct Attach Cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and
steadily. Prior to pulling the release tab, you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure it is
seated properly. Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the release tab.
3 As shown, attach the one-hole lug to the system using the supplied screw with the captive internal tooth lock
washer. Torque the screw to 20 in-lbs.
4 Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point. The rack installation “ears” are not a suitable
grounding point.
Step Task
1 Position the optic so it is in the correct position. The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted
incorrectly.
2 Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
NOTE: Both rows of QSFP+ ports require that the 40G optics be inserted with
the tabs facing up.
