Note -  If using QSFP to QSFP cables to connect the adapter (configured in 4x10Gb mode) to a 40GbE switch, ensure that the QSFP ports on the switch are configured appropriately or support that configuration. Refer to the switch documentation for any special configurations for the QSFP port to work in the 10GbE mode.
