The following notes apply to QSFP transceivers on core routing blades. v You cannot connect an ICL between a 4x32 Gbps QSFP on a SAN512B-6 core blade and a 16-Gbps QSFP on a DCX 8510 core routing blade. You must use a 4x16 Gbps QSFP on the SAN512B-6 blade.
32 Gbps and cannot be configured at 16 Gbps for Fabric OS v8.0.1. Therefore, you cannot connect an ICL between a 32 Gbps transceiver on a SAN512B-6 core blade and a 16 Gbps QSFP transceiver on a SAN384B-2 or SAN768B-2 core routing blade. You must connect between 16 Gbps transceivers on each blade.
The installation or replacement procedure for one transceiver takes less than 5 minutes. Ensure that the following items are available: v Required number of compatible power cables v Required number of supported IBM-branded transceivers v Required number of compatible fiber-optic cables v Optical transceiver extraction tool (for 10 Gbps transceiver only) Note: Most devices come with a transceiver extraction tool and holster.
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers. CAUTION: Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by IBM and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 825 and EN60825. Optical products that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.

Replacing a QSFP transceiver About this task The device supports only IBM-qualified transceivers. If you use an unqualified transceiver, the switchshow command output shows the port in a Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in the system error log. Also note the following:...
v Each QSFP contains four individual 16 Gbps or 32 Gbps ports. Be aware that any problems with one port could affect all four ports in the quad if the QSFP must be replaced. v Although installation and removal procedures are the same for QSFP transceivers installed in port blades and extension blades, these transceivers are not interchangeable between the two blade types.
