•Only two of the four Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet/Ethernet ports may be used at the same time.

•GBIC port 0, FE port 0, and the port adapter are on PCI bus 0. GBIC port 1 and FE port 1 are on PCI bus 1.

•The Gigabit Interface Converter supports online insertion and removal (OIR).

•Both native Gigabit Ethernet ports and Fast Ethernet/Ethernet ports are reported as GE0/0 and GE0/1 in software. You must use the media-typecommand to select which media type you want to use before you configure these ports. See page 26.

•For more information on Gigabit Ethernet GBICs, mode conditioning patch cords, cabling specifications, see the Cisco 7401 Installation and Configuration Guide.

Step 1 Turn the Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Interface Convertor (GBIC) (1) so the label side is up and the alignment groove (2) is down.

Note The GBIC is keyed so that it cannot be inserted incorrectly.

Step 2 Insert the GBIC into GBIC port 0 or 1. Repeat Step 2 if you are inserting a second GBIC.

Do not remove the GBIC plugs until you are ready to install the cables.
