  • Page 7: Handling, Safety, And Environmental Guidelines

    Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines Before installing your GBIC, read the following handling, safety, and environmental guidelines: • GBICs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow your normal board and component handling procedures. • GBICs are dust sensitive. When you store a GBIC, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep the dust cover over the GBIC’s optical bores.
  • Page 8: Removing A Gbic

    Verify that the GBIC is the correct model for your network configuration (Table 1 on page Remove the dust cover from the GBIC’s optical bores. Grasp the GBIC between your thumb and forefinger. Insert the GBIC into the slot on the front panel of the Gigabit Ethernet switching module Figure 3 Inserting the GBIC into the switching module GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

    Depending on your GBIC model, either grasp the extraction tabs (Figure 1) located on either side of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger, or lift the extractor handle attached to the GBIC. Slide the GBIC out of the Gigabit Ethernet module slot. If the GBIC does not slide easily from the module slot, use a gentle side-to-side rocking motion while firmly pulling the GBIC from the slot.
