Switch Installation
Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Caution: To avoid ESD damage, handle the SFP by its sides; do not touch the connector pins.
2. Remove the new 1000BASE-T SFP module from its protective packaging.
3. Check the markings on the SFP transceiver to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
4. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the port socket opening.
Note: Different Cisco devices have different SFP transceiver socket configurations. Your Cisco device might require
that the SFP transceiver be installed with the bale-clasp either in a latch-up or a latch-down orientation. Verify that
you have the SFP transceiver oriented correctly when you position it in front of the port socket.
5. With the bale-clasp closed (locked), slide the SFP transceiver into the socket until you feel it snap in place in the
socket. You may hear an audible click as the SFP transceiver latch engages in the socket
6. Connect the network interface cable RJ-45 plug to the SFP RJ-45 connector.
7. Observe the port status LED:
— Green indicates that the SFP transceiver and the target device established a link.
— Amber indicates that the port is discovering the network topology and searching for loops. This process takes
about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.
— Off indicates that the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be
a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. Refer to
cabling problems.
Connecting to SFP Modules
This section describes how to connect to a fiber-optic or 1000BASE-T SFP port. To connect to an RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet
port, see Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port, page
Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports, page
Warning: Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning: Do not connect or disconnect cables to the ports while power is applied to the switch or any device on
the network because an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed from the switch and cannot be accidentally be turned on, or verify that the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1070
Caution: Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from
contamination and ambient light.
Before connecting to the SFP module, ensure that you understand the port and cabling guidelines in the
Connectors, page
module.
Caution: To prevent ESD damage, follow standard board and component handling procedures.
Connecting to a Fiber Optic SFP Module
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an SFP module:
1. Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.
2. Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port. See
72. See Connector and Cable Specifications, page 71
