• 1G optics
• QSA
If you use any of the cables or adapters in the preceding list that is not Dell-qualified, the Dell Networking
OS detects it and makes it operational. The system displays a syslog message similar to the following:
Apr 29 05:09:16: %S4048-ON:1 %IFAGT-5-UNSUP_OPTICS: Non-qualified optics in
slot 1 port 49
The system supports the following types of transceivers only if they are Dell-qualified:
• LR4
• SR4
• LM4
• PSM4
• PSM4-LR
If you use any of the transceivers in the preceding list that is not Dell-qualified, Dell Networking OS places
the interface in error-disabled (operationally down) state. The system displays a syslog message similar to
the following:
Apr 29 05:09:16: %S4048-ON:1 %IFAGT-2-TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR:
Transceiver in slot 1 port 50 unrecognized, putting interface in operational-
down state
The following command output displays that the interface is in error-disabled state:
Dell#show interfaces fortyGigE 1/50
fortyGigE 1/50 is up, line protocol is down(error-disabled[Transceiver
Unsupported])

Splitting QSFP Ports to SFP+ Ports
The platform supports splitting a single 40G QSFP port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the
supported breakout cables (for a list of supported cables, refer to the
Installation Guide or the Release
Notes).
NOTE: When you split a 40G port (such as fo 1/4) into four 10G ports, the 40G interface
configuration is still available in the startup configuration when you save the running configuration
by using the write memory command. When a reload of the system occurs, the 40G interface
configuration is not applicable because the 40G ports are split into four 10G ports after the reload
operation. While the reload is in progress, you might see error messages when the configuration file
is being loaded. You can ignore these error messages. Similarly, such error messages are displayed
during a reload after you configure the four individual 10G ports to be stacked as a single 40G port.
