Note The switch can operate without a network module, but a blank module (with no ports or SFP slots) is available
and should be installed when uplink ports are not required.
Note The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP/SFP+ slots.
Use only supported network modules and Cisco pluggable transceivers. Each module has an internal serial
EEPROM that is encoded with security information.
The network module is hot-swappable. If you remove a module, replace it with another network module or
a blank module.
Note The switch complies with EMC, safety, and thermal specifications when a network module is present. If no
uplink ports are required, install a blank network module.

When installing network modules, observe these precautions:
• Do not remove the blank module from the slot unless you are installing a network module. A module
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the pluggable transceivers or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic
