2.Remove the cables connected to the Mini‐GBIC.

3.Locate the release tab under the front end of the Mini‐GBIC. For the type of

Mini‐GBIC shown in Figure 3‐1, push in on the release tab as far as it will go to release the Mini‐GBIC from the port slot. For the type of Mini‐GBIC shown in Figure 3‐2, pull out on the release tab to release the Mini‐GBIC from the port slot.

4.Grasp the sides of the Mini‐GBIC and pull it straight out of the port slot.

If you are storing or shipping a Mini‐GBIC, which has a fiber‐optic connector, insert its protective dust cover to protect the ends of the fiber‐optic fibers from dust and contamination.

Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface

When installing the switch on a flat surface, the installation of the rubber feet is recommended to prevent the switch from sliding on a flat surface. Installing the rubber feet is optional if you are installing the switch in a rack. To install the rubber feet, proceed to “Installing the Rubber Feet” below. For instructions to rack mount the switch, proceed to “Rack Mounting the Switch” on page 3‐9.

Installing the Rubber Feet

To install the rubber feet, refer to Figure 3‐3 and proceed as follows:

1.Place the switch on its back on a sturdy flat surface to gain access to the bottom of the chassis.

2.Remove the four rubber feet from their plastic bag in the shipping box.

3.Locate the four marked locations on the bottom four corners of the chassis.
