Installing a GBIC into the Line Card
Install the GBIC into the line card as follows:
1. Hold the GBIC with the network port facing away from the line card. The 20-pin
connector should be facing toward the empty GBIC slot of the line card.
2. The alignment slot on the GBIC must line up with the alignment guides inside the
GBIC slot. The top of the GBIC must be next to the hinged side of the GBIC slot door
of the line card.
3. Gently insert the GBIC module into the GBIC slot opening in the line card. The GBIC
door on the line card folds in and the hinges engage the alignment slots on the sides of
the GBIC module.
Note: If the GBIC module does not go in easily, do not force it. If the GBIC is not
oriented properly, it will stop about one quarter of the way into the slot and it
should not be forced any further. Remove and reorient the GBIC module so that it
slides easily into the slot.
4. Push the GBIC module in until the connector engages the 20-pin port. The GBIC is
now installed.
Insert GBIC into opening.
GBIC is keyed, and will
only fit in correct orientation
To remove,
