A few month ago I imported some ICX7000-1X40GQ's for a 7450... they've been sitting on a shelf since then.
Today i wanted to add one to the switch only to find that it doesn't fit in the module bay. I thought that all these modules for the various officially compatible switches were identical, but a comparison shows that the 40GQ has a longer tray than the 4x10GF I had in the slot before.
Edit - another difference is that the short tray one has a flexible length (pull out) bracket for insertion/removal while the long one has a fixed one....
I assume I can simply shorten the tray finger a bit to make it fit, but am quite surprised that there are multiple versions out there...
