1000BaseX modules are shipped without GBICs installed.
GBICs are hot-swappable in 1000BaseX modules.
Before you install the GBIC, ground yourself by touching a piece of
metal to avoid electrostatic discharge.
To install a GBIC, do the following:
Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
Verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network by checking the part
number. The number indicates whether it is a 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, or
ZX.
Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger, and insert it into the
slot on the front panel of the 1000BaseX module, as shown in Figure 2-2.
