Caution: To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded,
twisted-pair, CAT5 cabling.
Note: When connecting to a 100/1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four twisted-pair,
straight-through CAT5 cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When connecting to a 100/1000BASE-T-compatible switch
or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover CAT5 cabling.
To install a 100/1000BASE-T SFP transceiver:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector on the chassis or to a properly
grounded bare metal surface.
Caution: To avoid ESD damage, handle the SFP by its sides; do not touch the connector pins.
2. Remove the 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.
