Removing the SFPs
NOTE:
You should disconnect the network cable from the SFP before removing it from the switch.
To remove the SFPs that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the tab or collar toward the switch
until you see the SFP release from the switch (you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from
the slot.
To remove the SFPs that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is approximately horizontal, and then
using the bail, pull the SFP from the slot.
Replace the protective plastic cover on the SFP.
Connecting cables to SFPs
If you have any SFPs installed in the switch, the type of network connections you will need to use
depends on the type of SFPs you have installed. See the table in Network ports, and appendix A,
Cabling and Technology Information Specifications, for the SFP cabling information.
For SFP ports, and in general for all the switch ports, when a network cable from an active network device
is connected to the port, the port Link LED for that port should go on. If the port Link LED does not go on
when the network cable is connected to the port, see Diagnosing with the LEDs on page 28.
