Inserting a GBIC into the Gigabit Ethernet Interface
To insert a GBIC into the Gigabit Ethernet interface, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist or ankle strap and follow its directions for use.
Step 2 Locate the alignment groove on the GBIC. (See the enlargement in Figure 16 on page 25.) Position the
GBIC so that this groove is in the position shown in the enlargement to ensure that the 20-pin plug on
the GBIC is in the correct position.
Caution To prevent damage to the GBIC plug and receptacle before you insert the GBIC into the GBIC slot on
the Gigabit Ethernet interface, ensure that the plug and alignment groove are matched.
Step 3 Squeeze the tabs on each side of the GBIC using your thumb and forefinger, and insert the GBIC into
the GBIC slot on the Gigabit Ethernet interface. (See Figure 16 on page 25.)
