Chapter 3 Installing Supervisor Engines
Installing Pluggable Transceivers
Installing Pluggable Transceivers
Supervisor engine uplink ports require that pluggable transceivers be installed in the uplink port sockets.
These transceivers are normally shipped separately from the supervisor engine and must be installed
after the supervisor engine is installed in the chassis.
Table 3-1 lists the types of transceivers used in the
supervisor engine uplink ports and the location on cisco.com of the specific installation instructions for
the transceiver.
Caution We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove any of the transceiver with a fiber-optic cable
attached to it because of the potential damage to the cable, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces
in the transceiver. Disconnect the network interface cable before removing or installing any transceiver.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Statement 1051
Note For information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic interfaces, see the document at this URL:
