3.5 INSTALLING AN OPTIONAL MINI-GBIC
This section describes how to install a Mini-GBIC.
To prepare and install a Mini-GBIC, proceed as follows:
Preparation
Before installing the Mini-GBIC, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic wrist strap package)
before removing the Mini-GBIC from the antistatic packaging.
2. Remove the Mini-GBIC from the packaging.
3. If there is a protective dust cover (see Figure 3-3,
➄) on the Mini-GBIC port, do not remove it
at this time.
Installation
To install a Mini-GBIC, refer to Figure 3-3 and proceed as follows:
1. Hold the Mini-GBIC
➀ with the top side ➁ facing up (as shown in Figure 3-3) and its 7-pin edge
connector
➂ facing the switch port slot ➃.
2. Carefully align the Mini-GBIC
➀ with the switch port slot ➃.
3. Push the Mini-GBIC
➀ into the switch port slot ➃ until the Mini-GBIC “clicks” and locks into
place. This completes the Mini-GBIC installation.
Caution: Carefully follow the instructions in this manual to avoid damaging the Mini-GBIC and
switch.
The Mini-GBIC and switch are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and
observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
Mini-GBIC and switch. Always leave the Mini-GBIC in the antistatic bag or an equivalent antistatic
container when not installed.
