As others have said, you really ought to seriously consider upgrading 
that box.

Sorry, but IMNSHO, this is very bad advice. I and many others on this 
list have had extremely bad experiences with "cheap cisco" SFPs which 
are in fact forgeries.

You are far better off just buying Prolabs SFPs and getting on recent 
software if you want cost savings - the Cisco ones are, in my 
experience, re-labelled Prolabs ones.
