Removing and Installing SFP+ and QSFP+ Transceivers
Removing and installing an SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert
SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary. We recommend disconnecting cables
before installing or removing these transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
Caution
Use only Cisco SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9700 Series. Each Cisco SFP+ or QSFP+
transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP+ or QSFP+
transceiver meets the requirements for the switch. For instructions specific to the transceiver type, see the
“SFP+ Transceiver Specifications”.
Note
The Cisco MDS 9000 Family supports SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers with the following two types of latching
devices:
• Mylar tab latch
