How to install Accortec QSFP28 Module

• Power down the host device and disconnect power sources before installation to prevent ESD and equipment damage.
• Identify the correct QSFP28 port and verify slot compatibility with your switch or router model and firmware version.
• Remove the existing module (if upgrading) by unlocking the latch and carefully pulling the transceiver straight out of the slot.
• Align the Accortec QSFP28 Module with the receptacle and insert firmly until the latching mechanism engages securely.
• Attach the fiber optic cables using the appropriate connector type specified by your SKU (e.g., LC duplex for SMF, MPO/MTP for certain SR variants), ensuring clean, dust-free terminations and proper seating.
• Power on the device, check the link status indicators, and use the management interface to confirm the module is recognized and operating at 100 Gbps. Run a quick verification test to confirm throughput and stability.
