Installing a Module
Caution
When installing a 100BaseFX or 1000BaseX module, do not remove
the rubber plugs from the fiber-optic port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs
and caps protect the fiber-optic port and cable from contamination
and ambient light.
To remove a faceplate, follow these steps:
Step 1
Loosen the thumbscrews attaching the faceplate to the switch.
Step 2
Remove the faceplate from the switch, and store it for future use. Figure 2-1
shows a Catalyst 2924M XL switch with an empty expansion slot.
