Step 6: Proceed with Steps 4 and 5 of session 3.1 Desktop Installation to
connect the network cabling and supply power to your Switch.
3.3 Installing the SFP Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot of the LCD
switch. The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug
in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power down the
LCD switch, as Figure 3-4 shows.
