•Make sure the bend radius of the fiber is not less than 2 inches.
In addition to the previously described tasks, Extreme Networks recommends the following when
installing or replacing mini-GBICs on an active network:
•Use the same type of mini-GBIC at each end of the link.
•Connect one end of the link to the Tx port. Withou t an attenuator, measure the total loss from the Tx
port to the other side of the link.
Once you complete all of the described tasks, you are ready to install or replace a mini-GBIC.
Removing and Inserting a Mini-GBIC
You can remove mini-GBICs from, or insert mini-GBICs into your Summit 200 series switch without

NOTE
Remove the LC fiber-optic connector from the mini-GBIC prior to removing the mini-GBIC from the
switch.

mini-GBIC installed in your switch is one that is not approved or supported by Extreme Networks. To
correct this problem, ensure that you install a mini-GBIC that is approved and supported by Extreme
