26 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE SWITCH
If there is evidence of a problem, see “Solving Problems Indicated by
LEDs” on page 54 for a list of suggested solutions.
CAUTION: The Switch has no ON/OFF switch; the only method of
connecting or disconnecting mains power is by connecting or
disconnecting the power cord.
SFP Operation The following section 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.

Inserting an SFP
Transceiver
To be recognized as valid, the SFP transceiver must have the following
characteristics:
■1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver
Use this transceiver to connect Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports on the
Switch directly to a single-mode fiber-optic cable or to multimode
fiber using a conditioned launch cable.
■1000BASE-LH70 SFP transceiver
Use this transceiver to connect Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports on the
Switch directly to a single-mode fiber-optic cable.
