Removing And Inserting A Mini-Gbic - Extreme Networks Summit 200-24 Hardware Installation Manual

"e" Switch Installation
In addition to the previously described tasks, Extreme Networks recommends the following when
installing or replacing mini-GBICs on an active network:
• Use the same type of mini-GBIC at each end of the link.
• Connect one end of the link to the Tx port. Without an attenuator, measure the total loss from the Tx
port to the other side of the link.
Once you complete all of the described tasks, you are ready to install or replace a mini-GBIC.

Removing and Inserting a Mini-GBIC

You can remove mini-GBICs from, or insert mini-GBICs into your "e" series switch without powering
off the system. Figure 18 shows the two types of mini-GBIC modules.

Mini-GBICs are a 3.3 V Class 1 laser device. Use only devices approved by Extreme Networks.
NOTE
If you see an amber blinking Mini-GBIC port status LED on your Summit 200 or Summit 300 series
switch, the mini-GBIC installed in your switch is one that is not approved or supported by Extreme
Networks. To correct this problem, ensure that you install a mini-GBIC that is approved and supported
by Extreme Networks.
Removing a Mini-GBIC
To remove a mini-GBIC similar to the one labeled "Module A" in Figure 18, gently press and hold the
black plastic tab at the bottom of the connector to release the mini-GBIC, and pull the mini-GBIC out of
the SFP receptacle on the switch.
To remove a mini-GBIC similar to the one labeled "Module B" in Figure 18, rotate the front handle
down and pull the mini-GBIC out of the slot.
