When a network cable from an active network device is connected to the port, the port LEDs for that port
should go on. If the port LEDs do not go on when the network cable is connected to the port, see
Diagnosing with the LEDs.
6. Installing or Removing SFPs
You can install or remove an SFP from an SFP slot without having to power off the switch.
Hot swapping transceivers is supported. You can install or remove a transceiver with the switch powered
on, a reset will not occur. However, rapid hotswaps are not recommended. Wait a few seconds for the
Mode LED to turn on (during initialization), and then turn off.
Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove an SFP.

Installing the SFPs
Remove the protective plastic cover and retain it for later use. Hold the SFP by its sides and gently insert it
into any of the slots on the switch until the SFP clicks into place.
The Aruba SFPs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the
transmit port.
