For a list of supported modules, see the release notes on Cisco.com. For detailed instructions on
installing, removing, and connecting to XFP modules, see the XFP module documentation.
Caution Removing and installing an XFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
modules more often than is absolutely necessary.
For instructions on using the XFP patch cable, see the “Switch Installation” chapter of the hardware
installation guide.
Verify Port Connectivity
After you connect to the switch port, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link. This
takes about 30 seconds. After the switch and the target device establish a link, the port LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might
be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See the “Troubleshooting” section on
page 11 for information about online assistance.
