Page 12: Gbic Overview
Figure 2-1. Installing Adapter GBIC Overview A GBIC converts internal electrical signals to external electrical or optical signals for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The Fibre Channel cable inserts into the connector of the GBIC module. There are several types of GBIC modules currently available that can be used in the D8602B Fibre Channel Adapter. -
Page 13: Installing The Gbic
CAUTION Inserting a passive GBIC without Fibre Channel device/ hub attached will cause an open loop condition. This open loop condition will prevent devices attached to the internal HSSDC connector from functioning. To avoid this situation, avoid inserting the passive GBIC until external Fibre Channel devices are attached to the passive GBIC. -
Page 14: Connecting Cables
Connecting Cables 1. If you are using an optical GBIC module, remove the dust plug covers protecting the optical connectors before inserting the fibre-channel cable. Save the dust plug covers for future use. 2. Select the correct cable that matches the GBIC you installed and install the end connectors into the GBIC. -
