Installing Optional Mini-GBICs

This section describes how to install Mini‐GBICs in any of the SFP port slots (45 through
48 of C2G124‐48P, or 49 through 52 of C2H124‐48P. It is recommended that the options be

Preparing to Install a Mini-GBIC
Before installing the Mini‐GBIC, proceed as follows:
1. Before removing the Mini‐GBIC from the antistatic packaging, it is recommended that
you use an antistatic wrist strap (not supplied) to prevent damage from static
discharge. To use the wrist strap, refer to the instructions provided with your
antistatic wrist strap.
2. Remove the Mini‐GBIC from its packaging.
3. If there is a protective dust cover (see 5 in Figure 3‐1 or Figure
connector, do not remove it at this time.
Installing a Mini-GBIC
To install a Mini‐GBIC that has an MT‐RJ connector, refer to Figure
with an LC connector, refer to Figure
1. Hold the Mini‐GBIC with the top side positioned as shown, and the 7‐pin edge
connector facing the port slot.
Warning: Do not use optical instruments to view laser output. The use of optical
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard.
Advertencia: No utilizar instrumentos opticos para ver el laser. El uso de instrumentos
opticos para ver el laser incrementa el riesgo de perdida de la vision.
Warnhinweis: Benutzen sie keinesfalls optische Hilfmittel, um die Funktion des Lasers zu
überprüfen, es könnte ihr Augenlicht gefährden.
Caution: Carefully follow the instructions in this manual to avoid damaging the Mini-GBIC
and switch.
The Mini-GBIC and switch 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 Mini-GBIC and switch. Always leave the Mini-GBIC in the antistatic bag or
an equivalent antistatic container when not installed.
Precaución: Siga las instrucciones del manual para no dañar el Mini-GBIC ni del aparato,
puesto que son muy sensible a las descargas de electricidad estática. Utilice la pulsera
antiestática y tome todas las precauciones necesarias durante este procedimiento. Si no
lo hace, podría dañar el Mini-GBIC o del aparato. Mientras no esté instalado, mantenga el
Mini-GBIC en su bolsa antiestática o en cualquier otro recipiente antiestático.
Note: If the Mini-GBIC is one with an RJ45 connector (not shown), the installation
procedure is the same as described below. However, the Mini-GBIC has a wire handle to
release it.
