3. Hold the GBIC ➀ with the network port ➁ on the insertion end (not shown) facing away from

the 1G-2GBIC

wide part of the 20-pin connector oriented upward as shown Figure 3-4.

4. Insert the GBIC (20-pin connector side) into the port slot

➄ with the top of the GBIC ➅ adjacent

to the door hinge of the slot.

The door folds up and the GBIC slides into the port slot, engaging the sides of the GBIC and

port slot. The locking tab

➆ engages when the GBIC connector seats properly in the port.
