package) before removing the Mini-GBIC.

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 3-3, push in on the release tab as far as it will go to release

Caution: Do NOT remove a Mini-GBIC from a slot without releasing the locking tab

located under the front bottom end of the Mini-GBIC

. This can damage the Mini-GBIC.

This is also true of the RJ45 Mini-GBICs with a wire handle. The handle must be pulled

down toward the bottom of the Mini-GBIC to release it.

The Mini-GBIC and its host device are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic

wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could

result in damaging the Mini-GBIC or host device. Always leave the Mini-GBIC in the

antistatic bag or an equivalent antistatic container when not installed.
