These sections describe how to install and remove X2 transceiver modules and the Cisco TwinGig Converter Modules (also known as converter modules).
Use only Cisco X2 transceiver modules, converter modules, and SFP modules with 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 X2 transceiver modules, see the module documentation that shipped with your device. For module cable specifications, see Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”
Installing X2 Transceiver Modules and Converter Modules
When installing X2 transceiver modules and converter modules, observe these general precautions:
•When you install or remove the converter module, the mode on the switch changes from
•Do not remove the EMC plug from the
•Do not remove the dust plugs from the
•Removing and installing an X2 module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any X2 module more often than is absolutely necessary.
•To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting cables to the switch and other devices.
To install an X2 transceiver module or a converter module, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an
