Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port
For information about using the SFP module port, see the “Installing an SFP Module and Connecting
to a Module Port” section on page 21.
Follow these steps:
Verifying Port Connectivity
After you connect to the switch port, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link.
This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green when the switch and the target
devicehave an established link. If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might
bea cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See the
“In Case of Difficulty” section on page23 for information about online assistance.
Step1 Insert either an RJ-45 connector to the
10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module
intothe SFP module slot, and connect a cable
to the SFP module port.

Only one port can be activeat a time. If both

portsare connected, the SFP module port has

priority. The priority setting is not

configurable.

Step2 Insert the other cable end into the other device.
