Chapter 5 | Port Connections How to Connect to SFP Fiber Optic Ports How to Connect to SFP Fiber Optic Ports The switch provides two slots for SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers. Note that all 1000BASE fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. The 100BASE fiber optic ports operate at 100 Mbps full duplex.
Chapter 5 | Port Connections How to Connect to SFP Fiber Optic Ports Connection Procedure Follow these steps to connect cables to SFP transceiver ports. Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
Chapter 5 | Port Connections How to Connect to SFP Fiber Optic Ports Note: Be sure to secure cables properly and route them away from the switch without exceeding the minimum bending radius for fiber cables (typically a few inches). Use cable ties to bundle cables together and secure coiled loops of excess cable. Do not let cables hang free supporting their own weight or pull in any way that puts stress on the connectors.
6 Switch Management The switch includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), a web browser, or SNMP-based network management software. For a detailed description of the switch’s software features, refer to the Management Guide.
Chapter 6 | Switch Management Understanding the System Status LEDs Understanding the System Status LEDs The switch includes a display panel of key system LED indicators.

A Troubleshooting Diagnosing LED Indicators Table 12: Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action PWR LED is Off ◆ ◆ ◆ DIAG LED is blinking Amber ◆ Link/Act LED is Off ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the AC power outlet. Check the AC power outlet is supplying 110-240 VAC. Contact your dealer for assistance. Power cycle the switch to try and clear the condition. If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance.
Chapter A | Troubleshooting Power Problems Power Problems If a power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the switch shuts down after operating for a continuous period, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the internal power supply may be defective.
