Attaching the Interface Cables
Remove the dust plugs from the SFP transceiver optical bores.
Step 9
Immediately attach the network interface cable LC connector to the SFP transceiver.

When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four
twisted-pair, straight-through Category 5 cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When
connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover
Category 5 cabling.
The LED turns green when the SFP transceiver and the target device have an established link.
The LED turns amber while STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This
process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or
there might be a problem with the adapter that is installed in the target device. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section of your switch hardware guide for solutions to cabling problems.
