Safety Warnings
This section includes the installation cautions and warnings. Translations of the safety warnings are available
in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches .
Read this section before you install a network module.
Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel
should be properly grounded by grounding straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment.
Equipment is subject to ESD damage whenever you remove it.
Caution
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement
1030
Warning
Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module. Exposed circuitry could
constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206
Warning
Equipment That You Need
• Ratcheting torque screwdriver with a number-2 Phillips head that exerts up to 15 pound-force inches
(lbf-in.) of pressure

• Panduit crimping tool with optional controlled-cycle mechanism (model CT-720, CT-920, CT-920CH,
CT-930, or CT-940CH)
• Wire-stripping tools
• 12-gauge copper ground wire (insulated or not) for the single-hole ground connection
• Single-hole ground lug and screw (included in the switch accessory kit)
• Four leads of 14-gauge copper wire
Installing a Network Module
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.
Note
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.
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.
Note
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
must be in the uplink slot at all times.
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the pluggable transceivers or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic
cable until you connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from
contamination and ambient light.
•Removing and installing a network module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert a network
module more often than is necessary.
•To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting
cables to the switch and other devices.

Installing a Network Module

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.
Caution
Do not install the network module with connected cables or installed pluggable transceivers. Always
remove any cables and transceiver modules before you install the network module.
Caution
A module interface might become error-disabled when a network module with connected fiber-optic
cables is installed or removed. If an interface is error-disabled, you can reenable the interface by
using the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.
Caution
Step 4 Position the module face up to install it in the module slot. Slide the module into the slot until the screw makes
contact with the chassis. Fasten the captive screws to secure the network module in place.

Removing a Network Module
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.
Note
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface
Do not remove the network module with connected cables or installed pluggable transceiver modules.
Always remove any cables and modules before you remove the network module.
Caution
A module interface might become error-disabled when a network module with connected fiber-optic
cables is installed or removed. If an interface is error-disabled, you can reenable the interface by
using the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.
Caution
Step 2 Disconnect the cables from the pluggable transceiver module.
Step 3 Remove the pluggable transceiver module from the network module.
Step 4 Loosen the captive screws that hold the network module in place until it completely disengages from the
chassis.
Step 5 Carefully slide the network module out of the slot.
Step 6 Install a replacement network module or a blank module in the slot.
Step 7 Place the module that you removed in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
Finding the Network Module Serial Number
If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance regarding a network module, you need to know its serial number.

Installing a Cisco Pluggable Transceiver Module
Before you begin
See the switch release notes on Cisco.com for the list of supported a Cisco pluggable transceiver modules
(SFP, SFP, SFP28 and QSFP+ modules). Use only supported modules on the switch. For the latest information
about the supported modules, refer to the Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information.
For information about installing, removing, cabling, and troubleshooting transceiver modules, see the module
documentation that shipped with your device.
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the transceiver 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.
• Removing and installing a transceiver module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
module more often than necessary.

Installing and Removing Pluggable Transceiver Modules

•To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting
cables to the switch and other devices.
•When you insert several transceiver modules in multiple switch ports, wait for 5 seconds between inserting
each transceiver module. This will prevent the ports from going into error disabled mode. Similarly,
when you remove a transceiver module from a port, wait for 5 seconds before reinserting it.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top of the transceiver module.
On some transceiver modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be shown by arrows that
show the direction of the connection.
Step 3 If the transceiver module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4 Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.

Step 5 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it to lock the transceiver module in place.
Step 6 Remove the transceiver module dust plugs and save.
Step 7 Connect the transceiver module cables.

Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the transceiver module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send
(TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the transceiver module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 4 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If you cannot use your
finger to open the latch, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open it.
Step 5 Grasp the transceiver module and carefully remove it from the slot.
Step 6 Place the transceiver module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
