GBIC

Replacement

GBICs may be removed and replaced with the power on and the Switch operating without disrupting traffic on other ports.

1.Orient the GBIC as shown in the drawing below. The Keyway is ON THE BOTTOM (as shown) for the top row of ports and ON THE TOP for the bottom row of ports.

2.Slide the GBIC into the port opening (the spring-loaded door will open as you push the GBIC in). If you can only slide the GBIC in about an inch (2.5 cm) before it stops, you have the Keyway in the wrong position; flip the GBIC over and try it again.

3.Push the GBIC in until the GBIC Latches snap into place. If you have a GBIC that has bail-operated latches, make sure that the bail is rotated down. This allows the latches to latch (refer to the Removal procedure for a picture).

4.Cable the port. Refer to the Installation section of this manual for cabling instructions.
