Installing and Removing SFP Modules

These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into SFP
module slots on the front of the switch. These field-replaceable modules provide the uplink optical
interfaces, send (TX) and receive (RX).
You can use any combination of rugged SFP modules. See the Cisco IE 3000 release notes for the list of
supported modules. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of
the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. See
