Each FMC-supported SFP+ transceiver (SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-LR) has an internal serial EEPROM that
is encoded with security information. This encoding allows us to identify and validate that the SFP transceiver
meets the requirements for the FMC chassis.
Note
Step 4
(Optional) eth3 management interface —Install any FMC-supported SFP+ transceiver and cable in this
10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interface as needed. You can connect this interfaces to the same or different network
from your other management interfaces depending on your network needs. For more information about
management interfaces and network topology, see the

Note
Step 5
(Optional) USB port —Connect a keyboard to the USB port..
You can use this connection and a monitor connected to the VGA port to configure network settings and
perform initial setup at the CLI; see
Step 6
(Optional) VGA port —Connect a monitor to the VGA port.
The FMC sends console messages to the VGA port by default. You can use this connection and a keyboard
connected to a USB port to configure network settings and perform initial setup at the CLI; see
Setup Using the CLI for Versions 6.5 and Later, on page
Step 7 (Optional) Use the RJ-45 to DB-9 console cable supplied with the appliance (Cisco part number 72-3383-XX)
to connect a local computer to the FMC serial port. (You may need a DB-9-to-USB adaptor to connect to the
local computer.) You can use this connection for serial access (see
configure network settings and perform initial setup at the CLI (see
Versions 6.5 and Later, on page
Step 8 (Optional) Use an ethernet cable to connect the CIMC port to a local network reachable from a computer
where you will run an IPMI utility for Lights-Out Management. See
40 more information.
Step 9
Power supply—Use one of the supported power cords to connect the power supplies of the chassis to your
power source. For more information about supported power cords, see the
Center 1600, 2600, and 4600 Hardware Installation
Note
Step 10
Power—Press the Power button on the front of the chassis, and verify that the power status LED is on.
Step 11 Verify— Use the diagram in
LEDs reflect a good status.
Only FMC-supported SFP+ transceivers are compatible with the 10-Gb interfaces. Cisco TAC may
refuse support for any interoperability problems that result from using an untested third-party SFP
transceiver.

We recommend connecting both power supplies on the FMC to provide redundancy protection. The
appliance generates a health alert if only one power supply is connected.
