Removing a Bale-Clasp Latch SFP Module by Using a Flat-Blade Screwdriver
Step 5
Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the
module slot.
Step 6
Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
Connecting to the 10/100 Ports
The switch 10/100 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached
ports do not support autonegotiation, you can 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.
Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX devices:
Caution
To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow your normal board and component handling
procedures.
Step 1
When you connect to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect a straight-through
cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. (See
.) When you connect to switches or
repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the
“Identifying a Crossover Cable” section on page B-8
for
cable-pinout descriptions.)
