How to Install Accortec QSFP+ Module

• Prepare your equipment: Power down the device housing the QSFP+ port, or follow your organization’s hot-swap policy if the hardware supports hot-swapping. Ensure you have the appropriate fiber cabling and connectors ready for your network plan.
• Remove or access the existing module: If upgrading, carefully release the existing QSFP+ module from its slot using the designated release mechanism provided by your hardware vendor.
• Insert the Accortec QSFP+ Module: Align the module with the QSFP+ slot and gently but firmly push it in until the module seats and the latches secure it in place. Do not apply excessive force; if resistance is felt, re-check alignment and slot compatibility.
• Connect optical fiber cables: Attach the appropriate optical fiber cables to the module’s fiber interface, following your network design and cable specifications. Use clean connectors and proper fiber polishing/cleaning practices to avoid insertion loss and reflection.
• Power up and verify: Re-energize the device and verify link status through the network management system or device CLI. Confirm that the port recognizes the QSFP+ module, and monitor for normal operational metrics such as link integrity, error rates, and throughput.
• Validate performance: Run basic throughput and latency tests to ensure the module meets your expected 40Gbps performance. If firmware updates are available from your equipment vendor, apply them following standard procedures to ensure optimal compatibility and stability.
