• 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 SFP/SFP+ modules. 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 an SFP/SFP+ module. A module
must be in the slot at all times.
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP/SFP+ modules 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.
