Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installing a Network Module in the Switch

Use only Cisco network modules and SFP or SFP+ modules with the switch. For information about supported SFP modules, see the “SFP and SFP+ Modules” section on page 1-5.

For more information about installing, removing, cabling, and troubleshooting network modules, see the module documentation on Cisco.com. For module cable specifications, see Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

Tools and Equipment

You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver.

Installing Network Modules

When installing network modules, observe these general precautions:

•Do not remove the EMC plug from the 10-Gigabit Ethernet slot until you are ready to install an SFP or SFP+ module. Either a module or a dust plug must be installed in the slot at all times.

•Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

•Removing and installing a network module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any network module more often than necessary.

•To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting cables to the switch and other devices.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.

Step 2 Remove the module from the protective packaging.

Step 3 Remove the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slot EMC plug and save.

Caution Verify the correct orientation of your module before inserting it into the slot. Incorrect insertion can damage the module.

Step 4 Position the module face up to install in the module slot. See Figure 2-25. Slide the module into the opening until the back of the module faceplate is flush with the switch faceplate. Fasten the captive screws to secure the network module in place.

Caution Do not insert or remove a network module with attached fiber-optic cables. A module interface might change to an error-disabled state when a network module is inserted or removed with connected fiber-optic cables. If the interface is in an error-disabled state, you can re-enable the interface by using the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.
