Required Tools and Equipment
You need these tools to install the transceiver modules:
• Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent ESD occurrences.
• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the transceiver on.
• Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment.

The following table provides the supported port details and operating temperature of the QDD-400G-ZR-S
and QDD-400G-ZRP-S optical modules when port side exhaust or port side intake fans and power supplies
are used.

The QSFP transceiver module has a pull-tab latch. To install a transceiver module, follow these steps:
The transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual
grounding device when handling transceiver modules or coming into contact with system modules.
Protect the transceiver ports by inserting clean dust caps (NXA-ACC-QDD-DC) into any ports not in use. Be
sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of another
module. Use dust caps for all the open ports on the chassis.
The switch ships with dust caps plugged in. We highly recommend you to keep the dust caps plugged in until
you are ready to plug an optic.
The dust caps protect the ports from possible EMI interference and also avoid contamination due to dust
collection. To meet the EMI interference requirements, you must use the metal dust caps when the ports are
not in use by optical modules.
