Installing MiniGBICs

Each OS6600-GNI-U2 uplink module supports up to two MiniGBICs on OmniSwitch 6624, 6600-U24, 6600-P24, and 6648 switches. On OmniSwitch 6602-24 and 6602-48 there are two built-in MiniGBIC ports for MiniGBICs. These MiniGBICs are packaged separately and therefore are not factory-installed. You can install the MiniGBIC(s) by following the steps below:

Anti-Static Warning. Before handling any component, free yourself of static by wearing a grounding strap, or by grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the MiniGBIC, as well as the switch and uplink module.

1Holding the MiniGBIC by its sides, carefully slide it into the desired MiniGBIC slot in the OS6600- GNI-U2 module on OmniSwitch 6624, 6600-U24, 6600-P24, and 6648 switches or the built-in MiniG- BIC ports on OmniSwitch 6602-24 and 6602-48 switches, as shown.

Inserting the MiniGBIC (OS6648 Shown)

Note. The MiniGBIC should slide in easily. Do not force the MiniGBIC into the slot. Otherwise you can damage the connectors. If any resistance is encountered, ensure the MiniGBIC is aligned and oriented properly, as shown in the diagram above.
