Figure 27. Cable Management Brackets Installed on Chassis
3. To open part of a cable bracket, pull one of the latches forward so that it swings down.
4. To remove a cable bracket, push up the blue button located in the center of a bracket to release it.
When you cable C9010 ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the ventilation holes on the
right and left sides of the chassis.
Do not remove the cable management brackets with installed cables. First unplug and remove all cables,
then remove the brackets.
Installing the QSFP+ and SFP+ Optics
The C9010 switch may use 40GbE QSFP+ and/or 1/10GbE SFP+ optical ports. You can use a breakout
cable in a 40GbE QSFP+ port to split it into four SFP+ optical ports.
CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-
preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its components.
WARNING: When working with optical fibres, follow all the warning labels and always wear eye
protection. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fibre or connector
as it may cause eye damage.
1. Position the optic correctly over a port. The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted
incorrectly.
2. Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
