NOTE

Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the chassis so that the strap is always available

when you need to handle ESD-sensitive components.

Making Network Interface Cable Connections

Use the appropriate type of cable to connect the ports of your switch to another switch or router.

Working carefully, one port at a time:

1 Verify that you have identified the correct cable for the port.

2 Use an alcohol wipe or other appropriate cleaning agent to clean the cable connectors; make sure

they are free of dust, oil, and other contaminants.

3 If you are using optical fiber cable, align the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) connectors with the

correct corresponding connectors on the switch or the I/O module.

4 Press the cable connectors into their mating connectors on the switch or I/O module until the cable

connector is firmly seated.

5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining cables on this or other switches or I/O modules.

6 Dress and secure the cable bundle to provide appropriate strain relief and protection against bends

and kinks.

Installing a Backup MSM

If you install a backup MSM, use the synchronize command to replicate all saved images and

configurations from the primary MSM to the backup MSM.

You are not prompted to synchronize the images and the configurations from the primary to the

backup. If not synchronized, the backup uses its image and the primary configuration. This image/

configuration mismatch will likely cause the switch to operate differently after failover.
