Q: What optics and cables are supported?
A: Standard 10G SFP+ optics (e.g., SR/LR) and SFP+ DAC/AOC cables are supported; verify the compatibility matrix for specific part numbers.

Q: Are additional licenses required?
A: Some advanced features may require licenses at the chassis/software level. Review your NX-OS/DCNM licensing for details.

Q: Can it be replaced without downtime?
A: Yes, it is hot-swappable. For non-disruptive replacement, ensure adequate fabric redundancy and follow change-control procedures.
