1. Rack unit to be installed only for optical

cables

2. Z9500 switch

NOTE: When the switch operates in the supported temperature range, LR4 optics can be used

only in the upper half of the ports on the switch:

• Line card 0 — only in ports 12, 16, 20, 36, 40, 44, 60, 64, 68, 84, 88, 92, 108, 112, 116, 132,

136, and 140.

• Line card 1 — only in ports 12, 16, 20, 36, 40, 44, 60, 64, 68, 84, 88, 92, 108, 112, 116, 132,

136, 140, 156, 160, 164, 180, 184, and 188.

• Line card 2 — only in ports 12, 16, 20, 36, 40, 44, 60, 64, 68, 84, 88, 92, 108, 112, 116, 132,

136, 140, 156, 160, 164, 180, 184, and 188.

When the switch operates in a reduced ambient temperature, you can use LR4 optics in any

port. See Port Numbering Convention for an illustration that shows port location.

Installing the QSFP+ Optics

The switch has 132 QSFP+ optical ports, which can be used with breakout cables for 528 small form-

factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical ports.

When the switch operates in the supported temperature range, LR4 optics can be used only in the upper

half of the ports on the switch:

• On line card 0: only in ports 12, 16, 20, 36, 40, 44, 60, 64, 68, 84, 88, 92, 108, 112, 116, 132, 136, and

140.

• On line card 1: only in ports 12, 16, 20, 36, 40, 44, 60, 64, 68, 84, 88, 92, 108, 112, 116, 132, 136, 140,

156, 160, 164, 180, 184, and 188.

• On line card 2: only in ports 12, 16, 20, 36, 40, 44, 60, 64, 68, 84, 88, 92, 108, 112, 116, 132, 136, 140,

156, 160, 164, 180, 184, and 188.
