How to Install Ortronics Alcatel QSFP+ Module
Installing the Ortronics Alcatel QSFP+ Module is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime in busy deployments. Follow these best-practice steps to ensure a clean, reliable integration into your optical network.
- Step 1: Prepare equipment — Power down the host device (switch, router, or server) according to the vendor’s procedures and disconnect or protect connected cables to prevent accidental damage during service.
- Step 2: Inspect the QSFP+ port — Check the slot for debris and dust. If needed, use proper cleaning tools to remove any contamination that could interfere with contact surfaces or fiber connections.
- Step 3: Align and insert — Align the QSFP+ module with the port and slide it in gently until it seats with a firm, single-click engagement. Do not force the module, as improper seating can affect signal integrity.
- Step 4: Route fiber properly — Attach the LC duplex fiber cables with the correct single-mode fiber type. Ensure that bend radii are respected and that cables are secured to avoid tension on the module.
- Step 5: Power up and verify — Reconnect power and boot the device. Verify link status via the device’s management interface and LED indicators. Confirm the module shows as recognized and the 40G link attains a stable state.
