Connecting Cable Interface Line Cards and Network Uplink Cards

Note If you have completed all cable connections, go to the “Replacing the Front Cover” section on page 3-58to continue the installation. If you are using Gigabit Ethernet line cards, go to “Connecting a Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card” section on page 3-56.

Connecting a Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card

The single-port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) line card provides a trunk uplink running at 1 Gbps in full duplex mode to devices such as content servers and Web caches. The port uses a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) that supports Gigabit Ethernet rates on a variety of Gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX). For a list of qualified GBICs and cable lengths, see Table 1-18.

Use the following procedure to install a GBIC and then connect a fiber cable to the GBIC.

Note If a GBIC is already installed in the GE line card, begin this procedure at Step 2.

Step 1	Review the warnings at the start of the network uplink section.
Step 2	Insert the GBIC into the GE line card port until the tabs lock into place (Figure 3-44).

Note The GBIC is “keyed” and can only be fully inserted one way. If you can only insert the GBIC one quarter of the way into the port, remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it into the port.

Step 3 Remove the protective plug from the GBIC by pulling it off.
