Hot-Pluggable

All GBICs and cables are “hot-pluggable”. That is, you may have the Switch powered-up while you plug or unplug GBICs or cables of any interconnection media type. Hot-swapping and unplugging does not affect other operating ports.

Incorrect Cabling

Cabling connected incorrectly will not damage the GBICs or the Switch.

Connections

Connections are either ﬁber optic or copper.
