). Use Category 5

(Cat5) Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector for these

connections.

Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC Module

The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch’s

Gigabit module bay. Standard SFP GBIC modules are sold separately from the Smart Switch. If

you do not plan to install an SFP GBIC module at this time, skip this procedure.

To install an SFP GBIC module:
