how to install Mellanox MMA1Z00-NS200 Compatible TAA 200GBase-SR2 QSFP112 Transceiver

• Verify compatibility with your switch or router hardware and ensure the port supports 200GBase-SR2, CMIS 5.0, and QSFP112 form factor.
• Power down the host device before handling the transceiver to prevent ESD or damage.
• Remove the protective dust cap and inspect the QSFP112 connector for any debris or damage.
• Gently align the transceiver with the QSFP slot, ensuring the connector is oriented correctly, then insert until fully seated with a confident click.
• Attach the MPO fiber optic cable, matching proper polarity and ensuring the MMF fiber type (850 nm) is correct for your link budget; maintain proper bend radii to avoid fiber damage.
• Power the device back on and use your network management tool to confirm the transceiver is recognized and reporting DOM data.
• Run a baseline throughput and latency test to validate link performance, and monitor DOM readings to verify stability, power levels, and temperature within expected ranges.
