The ZX mini-GBIC is compatible with and interoperates with long range GBICs. For more information
about the budget requirements and minimum attenutation requirements of long range GBICs, see "Long
Range GBIC System Budgets" on page 28.

Safety Information

Before you begin the process of installing or replacing a mini-GBIC, read the safety information in this
section.
CAUTION
Mini-GBICs can emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to beam.
Mini-GBICs are class 1 laser devices, and they operate at 3.3 V. Use only Extreme Networks-certified
mini-GBIC devices.
If you see an amber blinking mini-GBIC port status LED after you install a mini-GBIC into the
Summit48si, Summit24e3 or Summit 200 series switch, BlackDiamond G16X
GM-16X 3 module, this means the mini-GBIC is not certified by Extreme Networks. To correct this
problem, install an Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC, available from Extreme Networks,
mini-GBIC port.
If you install a mini-GBIC not certified by Extreme Networks into an Alpine GM-16X
insert a cable to bring up the link, the port status LED remains "off" and an error specifying the use of a
non-Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC is sent to the syslog. To view the syslog and to determine
why the link is down, use the
Networks-certified mini-GBIC, available from Extreme Networks, into the mini-GBIC slot in the
module.

Preparing to Install or Replace a Mini-GBIC

To ensure proper installation, complete the following five tasks before inserting the mini-GBIC:
1 Disable the port that is needed to install or replace the mini-GBIC.
2 Inspect and clean the fiber tips, coupler, and connectors.
3 Prepare and clean an external attenuator, if needed.
