Cisco Catalyst 6880-X User Manual

Modular Port Card Installation
Use only supported modular port cards and SFP or SFP+ modules.
The switch can operate without a port card, but a blank port card module (with no ports or SFP slots) is
available and must be installed when the port card module is not installed.
Note
When installing the port cards, observe these precautions:Caution
•
Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP or 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.
•
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.
