Installing GBIC Connectors
6
GBIC connectors are only applicable to 80-Series modules. They
come in the following types:
SX (550m-capable)
LX (10km-capable)
SLX (25km-capable)
ELX (70-100km-capable)
Refer to Table 4 and Table for distances and wave lengths.
* Note: All Avaya GBIC connectors are hot swappable. You do not
need to shut down the switch when adding modules.
To install a GBIC connector into a module:
1. Carefully remove the GBIC connector from its packaging, leaving
the module in its anti-static wrapping.
2. Take appropriate antistatic precautions and carefully remove it
from the antistatic wrap. (Refer to the Avaya P550/P580/P880/
P882 Multiservice Switch User Guide for more information on
proper antistatic precautions).
3. Carefully slide the GBIC connector into the module until the side
connectors click into place (Figure 3).
