Installing the QSFP+ or QSFP28 Transceiver Modules in the Supervisor PIC
The 40-Gigabit (GE) QSFP+ and 100 Gigabit (QSFP28) transceiver module is a hot-swappable, parallel fiber-optical module with four independent optical transmit and receive channels. These channels can terminate in another 40-Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver, or the channels can be broken out to four separate 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceivers. The QSFP+ transceiver module connects the electrical circuitry of the system with an optical external network.
The following figure shows the 40-Gigabit optical QSFP+ transceiver. The transceiver is used primarily in short reach applications in switches, routers, and data center equipment where it provides higher density than SFP+ modules. The 100-Gigabit optical QSFP28 transceiver is similar to the 40-Gigabit optical QSFP transceiver.

Doing so may damage cables, cable connectors, or the optical interfaces and may interfere with the QSFP28 module latching properly into its socket connector. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an QSFP28 module. |
Caution |
The QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver modules or coming into contact with system modules. |
-
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug connected to the chassis.

When running a redundant configuration in the chassis, each Supervisor Card or Supervisor PIC must have a console port connection.
-
The console port on the Supervisor Card is for temporary connections. For permanent console connection, you must use the port on the Supervisor PIC.
Required Tools and Equipment
-
Console cable (with mini type-B USB connector on one end, and a type-A USB connector on the other end)
-
Exar XR21V1410 UART with USB interface
-
Cable with type-A USB connector on one end and DB-9 connector on the other end
-
PC or terminal
Procedure

|
Step 19 |
Pull out the eUSB. |
Step 20 |
Change the config-reg to 0x2102.
|
Step 21 |
Reload the system without saving the configuration on the active SUP.
|
Step 22 |
Once the system enter the IOS mode, verify SUP redundancy reach SSO via below show command:
|
Step 23 |
