Step 3 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device, if necessary.

Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.

Connecting to SFP Modules

This section describes how to connect to SFP modules. For instructions on how to connect to fiber-optic SFP modules, see the “Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP Modules” section. For instructions on how to connect to copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, see the “Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules” section.

For instructions about how to install or remove an SFP module, see the “Installing and Removing SFP Modules” section on page 2-16.

Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP Modules

Follow these steps to connect a fiber-optic cable to an SFP module:

Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Caution Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Before connecting to the SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling stipulations in the “Installation Guidelines” section on page 2-4and in the “SFP Module Ports” section on page 1-7. See Appendix A, “Connector and Cable Specifications,” for information about the LC on the

SFP module.

Step 1 Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use. Step 2 Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port (see Figure 2-18).
