Sorry but The PowerConnect port modules do not support hot-insertion. You must turn off the PowerConnect 6200 series switch when you are installing the PowerConnect 10GBase-T module.  The following procedure shows how to install the 10GBast-T Module into a PowerConnect 62xx series switch. 10GBase-T Module Installation    1.  Remove the 2 module slot cover by removing the two retaining screws turning counter-clockwise with a small Phillips screwdriver. NOTE: The 10GBase-T module will only operate if it is installed in Bay 2. This image represents step 1 of installing the 10GBast-T Module 2.  Slide the cover outwards to remove completely. This image represents step 2 of installing the 10GBast-T Module 3.  Align the card with the slot opening and slide it inward. This image represents step 3 of installing the 10GBast-T Module 4.  Once the card is flush with the chassis, tighten clockwise the holding screws by hand. This image represents step 4 of installing the 10GBast-T Module 5.  Insert catagory 6 or catagory 7 Ethernet cables in the RJ45 connectors as required. This image represents step 5 of installing the 10GBast-T Module 6.  Reverse the steps above to remove the 10GBase-T module Thanks
Hi everyone, I have a simple question that needs clarification... We have 2x  6248's which are stacked using the stacking modules and cables. These switches are work in our production network and have been very reliable so far. We would like to utilise the remaining rear slots and  install a 10Gigabit SPF+ module into each switch.   Can you tell me, can I insert these 10Gig modules into the rear of the switch without turning the switch off and with out loosing any connectivity to the rest of the network devices?   Thanks in advance.   Alex.
