Installing the GBIC



Installing the GBIC

There are several different types of GBICs available. You can insert any type of GBIC into any available hub port.
  1.  Remove the plastic cover -1- from the GBIC -2-.
     
  2.  Insert the cables into the GBIC.

     If the GBIC you are installing has a metal latch, move the latch to the unlocked  (center) position -1-. Slide the GBIC -2- into the port,  then move the GBIC latch back to the locked position (flush with the rear of the GBIC).  Connect the fibre optic cable -3- to the installed GBIC.

     If the GBIC you are installing does not have a metal latch, slide the GBIC -2- into the port.  Connect the fibre-optic cable -3- to the installed GBIC.
