Before you begin
To prevent an IP address conflict, you must complete the initial configuration for the switch and establish an
IP address before you create the management connection.
Step 1
Connect the interface cable to a management port on the switch.
• For the RJ-45 management port, use a copper interface cable with RJ-45 connectors (can be used for shorter
connections).
• For the SFP management port, use an optical interface cable with LH or SX SFP transceivers (can be used for longer
connections).
If you use the management interface, connect only one of the two management ports. The switch does not
support your use of two management ports at the same time.
Note
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to an external hub, switch, or router.
Optic Transceiver Removal Using the Optics Extraction Tool
You use both ends of the optics extraction tool in this procedure. You use the wide end for releasing the bale
latch, and the narrow end for removing the transceiver module.
Before you begin
Ensure that before you handle any switch components, you are wearing a grounded electrostatic discharge
(ESD) strap. To ground the strap, attach it directly to earth ground or to a grounded rack or chassis. There
must be a metal-to-metal connection to earth ground.
Step 1
Remove the fiber-optic cables from the transceiver module before removing the transceiver module.
