CAUTION: If you want to install the Switch using a Category 5E or Category 6 cable, 3Com recommends that you briefly connect the cable to a grounded port before connecting network equipment. If you do not, the cable’s Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) may damage the Switch’s port. - Page 26 If the SFP transceiver is faulty, it will not operate within the Switch. See “Solving Hardware Problems” on page 47. Use of non-3Com SFPs is not recommended. If the SFP transceiver is invalid it will not be recognized by the Switch.
