Removing the SFP Module Patch Cable
To remove an SFP module patch cable from the SFP module slot, release the connector, and pull it from the SFP module slot.
Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
The switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
•Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
•Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
