Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco ME 1200 NID
Insert the LC cable connector into the SFP module.
Step 5
Removing SFP Modules
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 1
Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX)
Step 2
and which is receive (RX).
Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 3
Pull the bale out and down to eject the module.
Step 4
Figure 2-9
Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 5
For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical
Step 6
interfaces clean.
Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
Step 7
Connecting to the 10/100/1000 Ports
The switch 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the
attached ports do not support auto-negotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters.
Connecting devices that do not auto-negotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set
can reduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
•
•
Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000-BASE-T devices:
OL-31962-04
Let the ports auto-negotiate both speed and duplex.
Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
