Connect to the Dual-Purpose Ports
Follow these steps:
Verify Port Connectivity
After you connect to the switch port and another device, the port LED turns amber while the switch
establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green when the switch
and the target device have an established link. If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned
on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target
device. See the “In Case of Difficulty” section on page 16 for information about online assistance.

In Case of Difficulty
If you experience difficulty, help is available here and on Cisco.com. This section includes Express
Setup troubleshooting, how to reset the switch, how to access help online, and where to find more
information.
Step 1 Insert either an RJ-45 connector to the
10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module
into the SFP module slot, and connect a cable
to the SFP module port.
Only one port can be active at a time. If both
ports are connected, the SFP module port has
priority. The priority setting is not
configurable.
Step 2 Insert the other cable end into the other device.
