Installation Guide

For 3Com Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) Transceivers

Description The Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ports on your system connect to Gigabit Ethernet networks through a GBIC transceiver (Figure 1), providing a high-speed connection over fiber-optic cable. The transceiver connects to the network using a fiber-optic duplex subscriber connector (SC). You can remove and replace the transceiver with the system on (which is called hot-swapping).
