How to install Accortec QSFP Module

• Prepare the system: Power down the port or place the device in maintenance mode according to your vendor’s guidelines to avoid static discharge and ensure safe handling of components.
• Remove and inspect: If replacing an existing module, release the retention latch, gently pull the old transceiver out, and inspect the slot for cleanliness and alignment before inserting the new module.
• Insert the module: Align the QSFP module with the port, orient it correctly, and push firmly until it seats with a decisive click. Do not force the module; if it does not seat, remove and reinsert to ensure proper alignment.
• Connect fiber and power: Attach the appropriate fiber optic cables (MPO/MTP or LC variants as specified by your SKU) with correct polarity. Reconnect power and ensure the host device recognizes the new module.
• Verify operation: Power on the system (if required) and check link status on the port. Use the device’s management interface to confirm the link is up and, if available, review Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) readouts for temperature, current draw, and optical power.
• Validate performance: Run a basic throughput test to confirm the expected bandwidth and latency targets. If the link does not come up, reseat the module, re-check fiber connections, and consult system logs or vendor support if issues persist.
