Remove a transceiver
1. Disconnect the cable from the transceiver. If you are using a fiber optic cable, replace the dust
cap on the cable before putting it away.</span>
Danger: Do not look directly into fiber optic transceivers or cables. They emit laser beams that
can damage your eyes.
2. Unlock the transceiver.
3. Hold the transceiver between your thumb and index finger and slowly pull it out of the port.
4. If you are removing a fiber transceiver, replace the dust cap before putting it away.
5. Put the transceiver into its original box or another appropriate container.

Connect the cables
When the appliance is securely mounted on the rack, you are ready to connect the cables. Ethernet
cables and the optional console cable are connected first. Connect the power cable last.
Danger
: Before installing or repairing the appliance, remove all jewelry and other metal objects that
might come in contact with power sources or wires. Touching both a live power source or wire and
ground, can cause any metal objects to heat up rapidly. It can also cause burns, set clothing on fire,
or fuse the metal object to an exposed terminal.
Connect the ethernet cables
Ethernet cables connect your appliance to the network. The type of cable you need depends on the
type of port used to connect to the network. Use a category 5e or category 6 Ethernet cable with a
standard RJ-45 connector on a 10/100/1000BASE-T port or 1G SFP copper transceiver. Use a fiber optic
cable with an LC duplex connector with a 1G SFP fiber transceiver, 10G SFP+, or 40G QSFP+ transceiver.
The type of connector at the other end of the fiber optic cable depends on the port of the device that
you are connecting.
To connect an Ethernet cable to a 10/100/1000BASE-T port or 1G SFP copper transceiver
1. Insert the RJ-45 connector on the Ethernet cable into an appropriate port on the front panel of
the appliance, as shown in the following figure.
