Prepare and install the GBIC into the 1G-2GBIC as follows:
Preparation
Before installing the GBIC, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic wrist strap package)
before removing the GBIC from the antistatic packaging.
2. Remove the GBIC from the packaging.
3. If there is a protective dust cover on the port, remove it from the GBIC.
Installation
To install the GBIC, refer to Figure 3-5 (Views A and B) and proceed as follows:
1. Hold the GBIC
➀ with the top of the body ➁ facing up, as shown in View A.
2. Lift the metal locking bar
➂ upwards as far as it will go. See Figure 3-5, View A. This unlocks
the GBIC clips.
3. Hold the GBIC
➀ with the network port ➃ facing away from the 1G-2GBIC ➄. The 20-pin
connector
➅ should be facing towards the empty port slot ➇. The top of the GBIC ➁ must be
adjacent to the door hinge of the port slot door.
4. Align the GBIC alignment slots
➆ with the card guides inside the port slot ➇. The door folds up
into the slot.
5. Push the GBIC
➀ back until the 20-pin connector port ➅ engages with the connector in the port
slot ➇.
CAUTION: If, in the following step, the GBIC does not insert easily and stops about one
quarter of the way into the slot, do not try to push it in any further. Remove and check
the orientation against Figure 3-5. Try again to push the GBIC into the slot until the
20-pin port engages with the connector in the port slot.
