Connecting to the Switch Ports
Installing and Connecting to Devices in the 10-Gigabit 
Ethernet Slots
The switch 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots are used for connections to other 
switches and routers. The module slots operate in full-duplex mode and use the 
hot-swappable Cisco X2 transceiver modules and the Cisco TwinGig Converter 
Module. The X2 transceiver modules have SC connectors to connect to multimode 
fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cables. The Cisco converter modules 
have two SFP-module slots that convert the 10-Gigabit interface into a dual SFP 
module interface.
shows how to install an X2 transceiver module into the 10-Gigabit port.
Figure 9
Installing an X2 Transceiver Module
Use only Cisco X2 transceiver modules, Cisco converter modules, and Cisco SFP 
modules with the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that 
is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to 
identify and validate that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
