Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installing Devices in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet Slots

Connecting the StackWise Plus Cables

Follow these steps to connect the StackWise Plus cables:

Step 1 Remove the dust covers from the StackWise Plus cables, and store them for future use.

Step 2 Verify that cables are aligned as shown in Figure 2-11.

Figure 2-11 Inserting the StackWise Plus Cable

Step 3 Insert one end of the cable into the StackWise Plus port on the front panel of the switch. Insert the other

end of the cable into the connector on the other switch (see

Figure 2-11).

Always use a Cisco-approved StackWise Plus cable to connect the switches.

When you remove the StackWise Plus cables from the connectors, replace the dust covers to protect them

from dust.

Caution Removing and installing the StackWise Plus cable can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert

the cable more often than is absolutely necessary.

Installing Devices in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet Slots

These sections describe how to install and remove X2 transceiver modules, Cisco TwinGig Converter

Modules (also known as converter modules), and SFP modules:

• Installing X2 Transceiver Modules and Cisco Converter Modules, page 2-22

• Installing SFP Modules, page 2-25

Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic X2 transceiver modules or SFP modules or the rubber

caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the

module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
