 describes the marginal operating configurations based on the number of 

I/O blades and the number of power supply modules. The marginal operating 
configurations are intended only to sustain switch operation for the short time until 
repairs can be made.

The SFP transceivers can be removed and replaced while the switch is operating 
without damaging the switch or the transceiver. However, transmission on the 
affected port will be interrupted until the transceiver is installed and reconnected. 
To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the 
tension, then pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different 
transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the 
documentation for your transceiver.

To install, insert the transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in 
place. The SFP transceiver will fit only one way. If the SFP does not install under 
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
