Removing these cables (especially an Ethernet cable) disrupts the network
connection from the external Ethernet port to any connected external Ethernet
devices. If you plan to replace the switch module with another switch module,
you can use the existing Ethernet cable, provided that it remains securely
attached to the Ethernet network. For additional information about cabling the
switch module, see Chapter 4, "Cabling the switch module and the SFP+
module," on page 15 and the documentation that comes with the cables and the
optional network devices to which the cables have been connected. For the
