CAUTION
Mini-GBICs can emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam.
NOTE
Mini-GBICs can be installed only in the SFP mini-GBIC receptacles.
To insert a mini-GBIC:
1 Holding the mini-GBIC by its sides, insert the mini-GBIC into the SFP receptacle on the switch or
module.
2 Slide the mini-GBIC into the SFP receptacle until you hear an audible click, indicating that the
mini-GBIC is securely seated in the SFP receptacle.
3 If the mini-GBIC has a handle, push up on the handle to secure the mini-GBIC.
If the mini-GBIC port status LED is blinking amber on a Summit48si switch, a BlackDiamond G16X
module, or an Alpine GM-16X
approved, supported, or certified by Extreme Networks. To correct this problem, install an Extreme
Networks-certified mini-GBIC.
If you install a mini-GBIC not certified by Extreme Networks in an Alpine GM-16X
connect 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.
