Removing the Mini-GBIC
To remove a Mini-GBIC from the 1G-2MGBIC, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic wrist strap package)
before removing the Mini-GBIC.
2. Remove the cables connected to the Mini-GBIC.
3. Locate the locking tab
➅ under the front end of the Mini-GBIC ➀ (see Figure 3-6). Push in on
the locking tab as far as it will go to release the Mini-GBIC from the 1G-2MGBIC
➃.
4. Grasp the sides of the Mini-GBIC
➀ and pull it straight out of the 1G-2MGBIC ➃.
If storing or shipping the Mini-GBIC, insert the dust protector into the Mini-GBIC to protect the
fiber ports.
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.
The Mini-GBIC, 1G-2MGBIC, and 1H582-51 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 damage to the Mini-GBIC, 1G-2MGBIC, or 1H582-51. Always leave
the Mini-GBIC in the antistatic bag or an equivalent antistatic container when not
installed.
