Step2 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws at both sides of the interface module until all spring pressure is released.

Step3 Pull the interface module towards you along the guide rails, until it completely comes out of the switch chassis.

When installing or removing an optional interface module, pay attention to the following points:

zDo not touch the surface-mounted components directly with your hands.

zDo not use too much force in the operation.

zAfter removing an interface module, if no new module is to be installed, install the filler panel as soon as possible to prevent dust and ensure the normal ventilation in the switch.

Installing Dedicated CX4/SFP+ Cable

The installation and removal of dedicated CX4 cables and SFP+ cables are similar. This section describes the installation and removal of the dedicated CX4 cable for illustration.

Make sure that you have installed a CX4/SFP+ interface module before installing CX4/SFP+ cables.

Step1 Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and verify the ESD-preventive wrist strap properly grounded. Then take out the dedicated CX4 cable from the package.

Step2 Horizontally plug the plug of the dedicated CX4 cable into the CX4 port of the switch and pay attention to the direction of the plug when plugging it.
