Installing QSFP+ Transceivers and Cables

Review the following guidelines before installing optional QSFP+ transceivers in the switch:

QSFP+ transceivers can be hot-swapped while the switch is powered on. However, you should always disconnect the fiber optic cables first before removing a module.

You should install the module before connecting the fiber optic cable.

Unnecessary removal and insertion of a module can lead to premature failure.

Go to “Optional QSFP+ Transceivers” on page 18 for a list of approved QSFP+ transceivers for the AT-DC2552XS.

Allied Telesis recommends using the following SFP+ cables listed in Table 10:
