Step 4 Slide the GBIC into the slot until you hear a click. The click indicates that the
GBIC is locked into the slot.
Step 5 When you are ready to attach the fiber-optic cable, remove the plug from the
GBIC and save it for future use.
Caution Do not remove the plug from the GBIC optical bores or the fiber-optic cable until
you are ready to connect the cable. The plug protects the GBIC optical bores and
cable from contamination.
Step 6 Remove the protective plug from the SC-type connector on the fiber-optic cable
if necessary. Insert the connector into the GBIC.
When you plug the SC-type connector into the GBIC, make sure that both the Tx
and Rx fiber-optic cables are already fully inserted into the SC-type connector.
