Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches) Connecting to SFP Modules Step 1 Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use. Step 2 Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port (see Figure 2-17). Figure 2-17 Connecting to a Fiber-Optic SFP Module Port 204624 1 1 LC connector Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic receptacle on a target device. Observe the port status LED. The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link. The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting," for solutions to cabling problems. If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device. Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules Caution To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures. Step 1 Insert one end of the cable into the SFP module port (see Figure 2-18). When connecting to servers, workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable. Note When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.

Connecting to SFP Modules
Step 1
Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.
Step 2
Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port (see
Figure 2-17
).

Connecting to a Fiber-Optic SFP Module Port
Step 3
Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic receptacle on a target device.
Step 4
Observe the port status LED.
The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.
The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process
takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might
be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See
Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,”
for
solutions to cabling problems.
Step 5
If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.
Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.
Step 1
Insert one end of the cable into the SFP module port (see
Figure 2-18
). When connecting to servers,
workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When
connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable.
Note
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or
higher cable.
