You must have an installed network module to use the transceiver modules. See the switch release notes on
Cisco.com for the list of supported pluggable transceiver modules. Use only supported pluggable transceivers
on the switch. For the latest information about supported transceiver modules, refer to the
Modules Compatibility
For information about installing, removing, cabling, and troubleshooting pluggable transceiver modules, see
the module documentation that shipped with your device.

A module interface might become error-disabled when a network module with connected fiber-optic
cables is installed or removed. If an interface is error-disabled, you can reenable the interface by
using the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.
The C3850-NM-8-10G module is held secure in the switch by only one jackscrew. This screw also
helps to eject the module from its connector interface. Before the module can be removed completely,
the screw must be unscrewed all the way out. When removing the screw, a spring pushes the module
out when the screw is completely disengaged. Ensure that you hold the module securely until it is
completely removed.
