Move the two module ejector levers out and away from the faceplate. Carefully slide the module into the slot until the notches on both ejector levers engage the chassis sides. 12

Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously move both ejector levers, as shown in Figure 4, to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. Figure 4 Using Module Ejector Levers Captive screws WS-X4712-uMG9850 V01 QAM MODULE STATUS DS1 RF DS2 RF DS3 RF DS4 RF DS5 RF DS6 RF DS7 RF DS8 RF DS9 RF DS10 RF DS11 RF DS12 RF Captive screws ASI MONITOR 15 Ejector levers 10/100/1000 13 1000-X 14 103252 Ejector levers Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing modules. A module that is only partially seated in the backplane does not function properly. 13

Note Step 10 Step 11 If you perform a hot swap, the console displays the message Module n has been inserted. This message also appears if you are connected to the Cisco Catalyst switch through a Telnet session. Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the faceplate. Attach network interface cables or other devices to the interface ports. See Cabling a Cisco umg9850. 5 Cabling a Cisco umg9850 Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001 14

Connecting the QAM, ASI, and Ethernet Cables Connect the QAM, ASI monitor, and Ethernet cables to the module as shown in Figure 5 on page 16. Note F-connector cables connected to the Cisco umg9850 should meet the quarter-quarter cable preparation convention (1/4-inch braid exposure and 1/4-inch center conductor exposure). Adherence to this convention prevents excessive signal loss if the center conductor is too short, and avoids mating interface damage if the center conductor is too long. (Tools such as the Cable Prep CPT-6590 are available for this purpose.) 15

Insert fiber-optic cable into the front (transmit) end of the SFP module. 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 18

When all interfaces are connected, check all connections then power on the Cisco Catalyst switch and verify that it is operational. To check the status of the module, perform these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Ensure that the STATUS LED is green (module operational). When the switch is online, enter the show module command. Verify that the system acknowledges the new module (identified by the designation QAM ) and that the module status is good. If the module is not operational, reseat it. If the module is still not operational, contact your customer representative. See Obtaining Technical Assistance, page 30. 6 Removing a Cisco umg9850 To remove a module from a Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switch, follow these steps: Step 1 Use an ESD-preventive wrist strap, grounding the strap to bare metal. 19

Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module ports. See Figure 7 on page 20. With a screwdriver, loosen the captive screws at each end of the module. Move the ejector levers outward to release the module from the backplane connector.
