Install the QSFP+ Transceivers
When using the adapter in the 4x10GbE mode, there are two cabling options. See Cable and Transceiver Overview. The optical transceivers are available from Oracle. Check the adapter product web page for available transceivers and cables at http://www.oracle.com/goto/10gb-or-40gb-ethernet-adapter.
Note - There are two QSFP connector ports, port 0 (A) and port 1 (B). Only Port 0 (A), can be configured as a 4x10GbE port. By using a splitter cable, you can get four 10GbE ports.
