Overview

The 8-port network uplink module installs only in the Catalyst 4500-X series switch chassis. It provides an additional eight 1G/10G ports using either SFP or SFP+ transceivers. The module is included as a standard component of the WS-C4500X-24X-ES and the WS-C4500X-40X-ES chassis or is available as an option on the other Catalyst 4500-X series chassis. Features of the network uplink module are shown in Figure 1.

Network Uplink Module LEDs

Table 1 lists the meanings for the network uplink module LEDs.

Table 1 Network Uplink Module LED Meanings 

LED	Color/Meaning
STATUS LED	The STATUS LED provides the status of the network uplink module. •Off—The network uplink module is unpowered or is only receiving 12 VDC from the chassis power supply. •Red—The network uplink module is receiving both 12 VDC and +3.3 VDC but the module is in reset mode. •Amber—The system software is processing an OIR request. •Green—The network uplink module is operating normally.
Port status LEDs (8 LEDs)	The port status LED provides the status for each of the eight uplink ports: •Off—The port is not active or the link is not connected •Amber—The port is disabled •Flashing Amber—The port failed diagnostics and is currently disabled •Green—The port is active (the link is connected and operational)
OIR (online insertion and removal)	The OIR LED indicates that an OIR request is being processed or that the network uplink module is ready to be physically removed from the chassis. The OIR LED operates with the uplink module STATUS LED. Off—Normal network module operation. (Concurrently, the STATUS LED is lit green.) Flashing Amber—OIR has been requested either by pressing and holding the OIR button for a minimum of 5 seconds or you have requested an OIR through the Command Line Interface (CLI). (Concurrently, the network uplink module STATUS LED is lit green.) Flashing Amber—The software is processing the OIR request and is currently bringing the network uplink module to an offline state. (Concurrently, the network uplink module STATUS LED is flashing amber.) Green—The network module is offline and is ready to be removed. (Concurrently, the network uplink module STATUS LED is off.)

Tools Required

The following tools are required to perform the removal and replacement procedures:

•ESD wrist strap

•No. 2 Phillips-head screwdriver (possibly needed to loosen the captive installation screws)

•Antistatic mat or an antistatic bag

Installing the Network Uplink Module

To install the network uplink module, follow these steps:

---

Step 1 Attach an ESD ground strap between your wrist and earth ground.

Step 2 If you are upgrading your chassis with a network uplink module, you need to loosen the two captive installation screws on the network module blank panel (part no. C4KX-NM-BLANK), remove the blank panel, and set it aside. (See Figure 2.)

If you are replacing a faulty network uplink module, go to the "Removing the Network Uplink Module" section for the procedure to remove the network uplink module.

Figure 2 Removing the Network Module Blank Panel

Step 3 Remove the new network uplink module from the shipping packaging.

Step 4 Position the new network uplink module in front of the chassis opening so that the bottom of the module tray is below the chassis guide rails. Slide the module into the slot until the network module makes contact with the connector at the back of the slot. (See Figure 3.)

---

Note Make sure that you position the module tray below the chassis guide rails. The module will not insert properly if the tray is inserted above the guide rails.

---

Figure 3 Installing the Network Module

Step 5 Firmly press on both sides of the network module faceplate to seat the network module in the connector.

Step 6 Start and finger-tighten the two captive installation screws.

Step 7 Install either SFP or SFP+ transceivers in the network uplink module sockets as needed. To identify which SFP and SFP+ transceivers are supported by the network uplink module, see the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix or the Cisco 10-Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix.

To correctly install the SFP and the SFP+ transceivers, refer to the Cisco SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Installation Notes.

Step 8 Attach the network interface cables to the uplink ports.

Removing the Network Uplink Module

To remove the network uplink module from a system chassis that is online, you must first request an OIR by either pressing and holding the network uplink module's OIR button for a minimum of 5 seconds or requesting a network uplink module OIR through the CLI. If the system is offline or powered off, an OIR request is not needed.

---

Caution Removing the network uplink module while it is operating without first requesting an OIR can cause the system to crash.

---

To remove the network uplink module from the chassis, follow these steps:

---

Step 1 If the system is online, you must request an online insertion or removal (OIR) either by pressing and holding the OIR button located on the network module for a minimum of 5 seconds or by using the CLI command from the console.

---

Note If the system is offline or powered off, an OIR request is not needed and you can proceed to Step 3.

---

Step 2 Monitor the states of the STATUS and OIR LEDs located on the network module front panel. (See Figure 1.) When the module STATUS LED is off and the OIR LED is lit green, the network uplink module can be safely removed from the chassis. See Table 1 for STATUS and OIR LED states and meanings.

Step 3 Attach a ESD wrist strap between your wrist and the chassis.

Step 4 Disconnect any interface cables attached to the network module.

Step 5 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the network module front panel.

Step 6 Grasp the two captive installation screws and gently pull on them to release the network module from the chassis connector.

Step 7 Grasp the top and bottom of the network module faceplate and carefully slide the network module out of the chassis. (See Figure 4.) Place it on an antistatic mat or immediately place it in an antistatic bag.

Figure 4 Removing the Network Module

Step 8 If you are not going to install a replacement network uplink module in the switch chassis, you must install a blank panel (part no. C4KX-NM-BLANK) over the empty module bay to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.

Step 9 Position the blank panel over the network uplink module opening and secure it in place with the two captive installation screws.
