Power Supply
The 400G ZR QSFP-DD DCO is a Power Class 8 module. In order to avoid exceeding the host system power capacity, upon hot-plug, power cycle or reset, all QSFP-DD modules shall power up in Low Power Mode if LPMode is asserted. If LPMode is not asserted the module will proceed to High Power Mode without host intervention. Specification values for maximum instantaneous, sustained and steady state currents at each power class are given in below table. The power supply requirements are specified in the table below.
