2. Module On-Board Identification Test
        This module supports 40G transmission rate. When inserted into a Cisco N3K-C3064PQ-10GE switch, the module establishes a normal link and the port indicator lights up. Module information identification and DOM data display are both normal. The detailed results are shown in Table 2.
