Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary. We recommend that you disconnect the cables before
installing or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
Use only Cisco transceivers in this switch. Each Cisco transceiver is encoded with model information that
enables the switch to verify that the transceiver meets the requirements for the switch.
