OVERVIEW
========
The Intel(R) QSFP+ Configuration Utility is a command line utility that allows
users to change the link type of the installed QSFP+ module. The supported
types are defined within the adapter's NVM. This utility displays only the
devices that potentially support QSFP+ reconfiguration. Only one port per
device is displayed, since changes affect the device as a whole, not
individual ports.

NOTE: Do not attempt to set a link mode that requires more physical QSFP+
connections than your device has. For example, do not set the link mode to 
2x40 (qcu64e /nic=1 /set=2x40) for an adapter with only one QSFP+ port 
(device ID 0x1584). The 0x1584 device ID only supports 1x40 and 4x10.  The info
command erroneously reports 2x40 and 2x2x10 as supported configurations for a 
single physical QSFP+ port device. If you set these unsupported link modes,
THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO HANG AND REQUIRE A REBOOT! 
For dual-port devices, setting 1x40 or 4x10 will use the primary port, and the 
secondary port will not link. Setting 2x40 on a dual-port device uses both ports, 
and setting 2x2x10 on a dual-port device uses the first two cables on the primary port
breakout and the second two cables on the secondary port breakout.

NOTE: A reboot is required to complete the transition to 4x10 link mode. For example,
  # qcu -nic=1 -set 4x10
  Error: Cannot access the device.

After the error is returned, reboot the system to complete the transition to 4x10.
