incorrectly.)

snaps into place.

To install an XFP into one of the two ports in the optional 10GbE module (see Inserting Optional Modules
(10-Gigabit or Stacking) on page 19) on the back of the switch, follow the procedure below:
For enabling ports with FTOS, see the FTOS Configuration Guide for the S-Series.
Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear
an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the system and its components.
Warning: Do not look directly into any optical port. Failure to follow this warning could result in
physical harm. For details, see Information Symbols and Warnings on page 5.
Note: The CX4 module does not use transceivers. However, you can use a CX4 cable with an XFP port by
inserting a CX4 XFP converter (catalog name GP- XFP-1CX4) into the slot. An XFP port does not support
the use of the
cx4-cable-length command. For details, see Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or
Stacking) on page 19
in Chapter 3, Installing the Switch.
