This Release Note describes how to install, remove, and maintain Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs).
Caution: Unnecessary removal/insertion of a GBIC could lead to premature failure of the GBIC. A GBIC
has an approximate lifetime of 100 to 500 removals/insertions.
GBIC Installation
Caution: When removing or inserting a GBIC, it is recommended to wear an ESD wrist strap.
Note: GBICs are hot-swappable.
To install a GBIC, perform these following steps:
Step 1 Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
Step 2 Verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network by checking the part number. The
number indicates whether it is 1000BaseSX (multi-mode), 1000BaseLX (single-mode).
Step 3 Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger; insert the GBIC into the GBIC bay.
Note: For SFP GBICs, keep the release arm in up position and insert the module into the SFP
GBIC bay.
Step 4 Slide the GBIC into the bay until you hear a click. The click indicates the GBIC is locked into
the bay.
Step 5 When you are ready to attach the fiber-optic cable, remove the rubber plugs from the GBIC
and save for future use.
GBIC Removal
Caution: When removing or inserting a GBIC, it is recommended to wear an ESD wrist strap.
Note: GBICs are hot-swappable.
To remove a GBIC, perform these following steps:
Step 1 Disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the front of the GBIC.
Step 2 Release the GBIC from the bay by simultaneously squeezing the plastic tabs (one on each side
of the GBIC) and pull gently towards you.
Note: For SFP GBICs, locate the release arm at the front of the GBIC and swing the release
arm down. Pull the arm gently towards you; this will release the locking mechanism on the
bottom of the GBIC.
Step 3 Slide the GBIC out of the bay.
Step 4 Install the rubber plugs back into the GBIC optical bores, and place the GBIC in anti-static
protective packaging.
GBIC Care and Handling
Follow these GBIC care and handling guidelines:
GBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component
handling procedures.
GBICs are dust-sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in,
always keep plugs in the GBIC optical bores.
The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules of
the optical connectors. Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the optical
connector.
