with an appropriate Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Check the Module Active LEDs on the front of the

correctly.

Removing an SFP Transceiver

Removing an SFP transceiver does not require powering
off the Switch.
To remove an SFP transceiver:
1 Disconnect the cable from the transceiver.
Move the wire release lever downwards until it is
2
pointing toward you.
3 Pull the wire release lever toward you to release the
catch mechanism.
The SFP transceiver should slide out easily.

Performing Spot Checks

At frequent intervals, you should visually check the
Switch. Regular checks can give you an early warning of
a possible failure; any problems can then be attended to
when there will be least effect on users.
3Com recommends periodically checking the items listed
in Table 9.
