Removing and Installing GBICs

Your Ethernet line card may have shipped with a GBIC installed. If your line card arrived without the GBIC installed and you need to install it now, or if you need to change your GBIC for another reason, use the procedures in these sections:

•General GBIC Handling and Maintenance Guidelines, page 24

•Removing the GBIC from an Ethernet Line Card, page 24

•Inserting a GBIC into the Gigabit Ethernet Interface, page 25

Before you remove or install a GBIC, read the installation information in this section and the “Laser Safety” section on page 82.

Note Cisco strongly recommends that you disconnect all fiber-optic cables before removing or installing a GBIC.
