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 QSFP+ and SFP+ Transceivers
To connect to network devices and attached port extenders, the C9010 switch uses 40GbE QSFP+ and
1/10GbE SFP+ optical ports. You can use a breakout cable in a 40GbE QSFP+ port to split it into four SFP
+ ports.
Dell Networking guarantees the performance of Dell-qualified cables, adapters, and optics. You can also
use non-Dell qualified cables, adapters, and optics in a C9010, but Dell Networking does not guarantee
their performance. If you plug a non-Dell qualified optic into a PE port, the Dell Networking OS detects it
and makes it operational. The system displays a syslog message similar to the following:
%C9000LC0640:8 %IFAGT-5-UNSUP_OPTICS: Non-qualified optics in slot 8 port 1
