Step 3 Slide the CPT2 module in until the EMI gasket flange makes contact with the line card faceplate.
Step 4 Press firmly on the front of the CFP2 module with your thumbs to fully seat it in the transceiver socket.
The CFP2 module is properly seated in the slot by applying symmetrical force of at least 80N on its front surface, along
the centerline. The latching mechanisms on both the sides of the pluggable should be fully engaged, and the electrical
connectors should be completely mated.

Step 5 When you are ready to attach the network cable interface, remove the dust plugs and inspect and clean fiber connector
end faces, and then immediately attach the network interface cable connectors into the CFP2 module optical bores.
Online insertion and removal (OIR): When you insert a CFP2 module that is configured for 150Gbps (8 QAM),
there will be a delay in the laser-on process for both optics controllers due to flapping. This laser-on process
can take up to 120 seconds to complete.
