You can install a GBIC transceiver as described below:
1. Insert the transceiver with the SC connector facing out toward you. Note that
the transceiver is keyed so that it can only be installed in one orientation.
2. Press in on the transceiver’s side tabs, and gently slide it into the GBIC
interface slot until it clicks into place.
Note: GBIC transceivers are hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the switch
before installing or removing a transceiver.
Caution: Install only 5 V GBIC transceivers into the module slots.
