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

Removing and Inserting a Mini-GBIC

You can remove mini-GBICs from, or insert mini-GBICs into your Summit 200 series switch without
powering off the system. Figure 9 shows the two types of mini-GBIC modules.
Figure 9: Mini-GBIC modules
Module A
Mini-GBICs are a 3.3 V Class 1 laser device. Use only devices approved by Extreme Networks.
WARNING!
Mini-GBICs can emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to beam.
NOTE
Remove the LC fiber-optic connector from the mini-GBIC prior to removing the mini-GBIC from the
switch.
NOTE
If you see an amber blinking Mini-GBIC port status LED on your Summit 200 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.
