QLE3142 Bracket Removal and Replacement
Depending on the type of system, installation of the QLE3142 requires either a
long bracket or a short bracket. QLogic provides both of these brackets with the
product.
To remove and replace the bracket:
1. Remove the SFP+ optical modules from their housing (see Figure 4-7).
