Cisco Catalyst 2950 Getting Started Guide

15
Install SFP and GBIC Modules and Connect to the Ports
Follow these steps:
For a list of supported modules, refer to the release notes on Cisco.com. For detailed instructions on
installing and removing modules, refer to the documentation that came with the SFP or GBIC module.
Caution Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and
insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.
After you connect to the switch port, 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 19 for information about online assistance.
Step 1
Grasp the module on the sides, and insert it into the switch slot until you feel the
connector snap into place.
Step 2
Insert an appropriate cable into the module port. Insert the other cable end into the other
device.
