SD Flash Memory Card
Dual-Purpose Port LEDs
The dual-purpose port LEDs identify the connection as either a copper-based connector or an SFP 
module. The ports can autonegotiate, or you can manually configure each dual-purpose port as either 
10/100/1000 with copper connectors or as an SFP module port, but not as both types at the same time. 
See Table 1-8 for LED descriptions.
SD Flash Memory Card LED
SD Flash Memory Card
The switch ships with the Secure Digital (SD) flash memory card installed. See Figure 1-1 and 
Figure 1-2. You can remove the card from a failed switch and install it in a replacement switch. You do 
not have to reconfigure the new switch. See the “Replacing the SD Flash Memory Card” section on 
page 2-22 for information.
Warning
Be aware that the SD card contains sensitive and security relevant information, including but not 
limited to full device configuration information, public and private keys used for SSH and SSL (if those 
protocols are enabled), device passwords and others. Access to SD cards for any Cisco CGS switch 
should be limited to authorized personnel.
Power Supply Side 
The power supply side has the LED panel and two power supply slots for the removable power supplies. 
See Figure 1-7 and Figure 1-8.
