Connecting a 1000Base-T Port to the Network

You can connect a copper network interface cable with an RJ-45 connector to a port on a 48-port I/O
module.
To connect a 1000Base-T Ethernet port to the network, follow these steps:
Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 1
Route the interface cable through the cable management slot for the I/O module with the port for this
Step 2
cable.
Insert the RJ-45 connector on the interface cable into the appropriate port on the I/O module.
Step 3

Disconnecting a 1000Base-T Port From the Network

You can disconnect a copper network interface cable from a 48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet module by
unplugging its RJ-45 connector from its port on the module.
To disconnect a 1000Base-T Ethernet port from the network, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Unplug the RJ-45 connector on the interface cable from the appropriate port on the Ethernet I/O module.
Step 2
(Optional) If you need to remove the cable from the device, pull it out of the cable management slot.
Step 3

Connecting or Disconnecting an SFP or SFP+ Port

Each SFP or SFP+ port requires a transceiver to connect two fiber-optic cables to the port. When
installing fiber-optic cables for a port, you must install SFP transceivers for 1-Gbps optical ports or
install SFP+ transceivers for 10-Gbps optical ports. When removing fiber-optic cables, you must remove
the fiber-optic cables from a transceiver before removing the transceiver from the port.
