Installing a Network Module
Note
The switch can operate without a network module, but a blank module (with no ports or SFP slots) is available
and should be installed when uplink ports are not required.
Note
The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP/SFP+ slots.
Use only supported network modules and Cisco pluggable transceivers. Each module has an internal serial
EEPROM that is encoded with security information.
The network module is hot-swappable. If you remove a module, replace it with another network module or
a blank module.
Note
The switch complies with EMC, safety, and thermal specifications when a network module is present. If no
uplink ports are required, install a blank network module.
Before you begin
When installing network modules, observe these precautions:
• Do not remove the blank module from the slot unless you are installing a network module. A module
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the pluggable transceivers or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic
• Removing and installing a network module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert a network
• To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting
Procedure
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
Step 2
Remove the module from the protective packaging.
Step 3
Remove the blank module from the switch and save it. To remove the blank module, loosen the captive screw
on the module using a screwdriver until it completely disengages from the chassis.

Verify the correct orientation of your module before installing it. Incorrect installation can damage
the module.
Do not install the network module with connected cables or installed pluggable transceivers. Always
