4.4.1Installing a GBIC Optical Port
CAUTION
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before installing or removing compo-
nents from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to
the component once it is outside the chassis.
NOTICE
Only install GBIC optical ports that are compatible with the RUGGEDCOM RSG2100.
1. Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to
prevent electrostatic discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing an
ESD-preventive wrist strap connected to either the chassis ground connector or a
bare metal surface on the router/switch.
2. Remove the dust cover from the port opening in the module.
3. Remove the port from its packaging.
CAUTION
Mechanical hazard – risk of component damage
GBIC optical ports are designed to insert in only one orientation. Do not force
the port into the module.
4. Remove the dust plug from the socket and store for future use.
5. Squeeze the latches on either side of the port and insert the port into the socket.
