Connecting Modules
This section describes how to connect cables to the installed modules.
Connecting Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Modules
On each 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 10/100BaseTX switching-module port, attach the cable
connector to secure the cable in the port. Most Ethernet connections do not require a
transceiver on the interface cable. However, 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet connections to the
media-independent interface (MII) connector on the supervisor engine module require a
Fast Ethernet transceiver.

To secure the group switching Ethernet module 180-degree cable connection, engage the
connector fully and tighten the two screws on either side of the connector, as shown in
