Installing SFP Modules
Removing an X2 Transceiver or Converter Module
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Caution
Do not insert or remove an X2 transceiver module with fiber-optic cables still attached. An X2 module
interface might change to error disabled when a module is inserted or removed with the fiber-optic cables
still connected. If the interface is error disabled, you can re-enable the interface by using the
shutdown
and
no shutdown
interface configuration commands.
Step 2
For X2 transceiver modules, disconnect the cables from the module. For fiber-optic modules, install the
optical bore dust plugs.
Caution
Do not remove the converter module with SFP modules or cables installed. Always remove any cables
and modules before removing the converter module from the slot.
Step 3
For converter modules, disconnect the cables from the SFP module. Remove the SFP modules from the
converter module.
Step 4
Carefully pull on the X2 module sleeve, or pinch the tabs on the converter module to disengage it from
the slot. Grasp the edges of the module, and carefully slide it out of the slot.
Step 5
Reinstall a replacement module or an EMC plug in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet slot.
Step 6
Place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
Installing SFP Modules
This section describes how to install and remove SFP modules in the switch and the Cisco TwinGig
Converter Module slots. To use SFP modules, you must have a converter module installed in a 10-Gigabit
Ethernet slot.
See the
“SFP Modules” section on page 1-3
and the switch release notes on Cisco.com for the list of
supported SFP modules. Use only Cisco SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal
serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to
identify and validate that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
For more information about installing, removing, cabling, and troubleshooting SFP modules, see the
module documentation that shipped with your device. For module cable specifications, see
