Step 4 Slide the GBIC into the slot until you hear a click. The click indicates that the GBIC is locked into the slot.

Step 5 When you are ready to attach the fiber-optic cable, remove the plug from the GBIC and save it for future use.

Caution Do not remove the plugs from the GBIC optical bores or the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs protect the GBIC optical bores and cable from contamination.

Step 6 Remove the plugs from the SC-type connector on the fiber-optic cable (see Figure 5 on page 18). Insert the connector into the GBIC.

Note When you plug the SC-type connector into the GBIC, ensure that you fully insert the Tx and Rx fiber-optic cables into the SC-type connector.

Note If you are using the LX/LH GBIC with MMF, you need to install a patch cord between the GBIC and the MMF cable. See the “Using a Patch Cord” section on page 12 for details.
