Removing the Locking Bar GBIC

CAUTION: Do NOT remove a GBIC from a slot without unlocking the metal locking bar.
This can damage the GBIC.
The GBIC, 1G-2GBIC, and 1H582-xx are sensitive to static discharges. Use an
antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to
do so could result in damage to the GBIC, 1G-2GBIC, and the host device. Always leave
the GBIC in the antistatic bag in which it was shipped or an equivalent antistatic
container until ready to install it.
To remove a GBIC from the 1G-2GBIC, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic wrist strap package)
before removing the GBIC.
2. Remove any cables or dust protectors connected to the GBIC.
3. Locate and lift the metal locking bar
View A. This unlocks the GBIC from the port.
4. While holding the metal locking bar in the upwards position, grasp the sides of the GBIC and
pull it out of the 1G-2GBIC.
5. If storing or shipping the GBIC, insert the protective dust cover into the GBIC to protect the fiber
ports.
