Hot-Pluggable
All GBICs and cables are “hot-pluggable”. That is, you may have the Switch
powered-up while you plug or unplug GBICs or cables of any interconnection
media type. Hot-swapping and unplugging does not affect other operating ports.
Incorrect Cabling
Cabling connected incorrectly will not damage the GBICs or the Switch.
Connections
Connections are either fiber optic or copper.
