SFP Operation 25

	CAUTION: If you want to install the Switch using a Category 5E or
	Category 6 cable, 3Com recommends that you briefly connect the cable
	to a grounded port before connecting network equipment. If you do not,
	the cable’s Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) may damage the Switch's port.
	You can create a grounded port by connecting all wires at one end of a
	UTP cable to an earth ground point, and the other end to a female RJ-45
	connector located, for example, on a Switch rack or patch panel. The
	RJ-45 connector is now a grounded port.
SFP Operation	The following sections describes how to insert an SFP transceiver into an
	SFP port.
	SFP transceivers are hot-insertable and hot-swappable. You can remove
	them from and insert them into any SFP port without having to power
	down the Switch.
