Installing a GBIC Transceiver
Caution: Install only 5 V GBIC transceivers into the module slots.
You can install a GBIC transceiver as described below:
1. Insert the transceiver with the SC connector facing out toward you.
Note that the transceiver is keyed so that it can only be installed in one
orientation.
2. Press in on the transceiver's side tabs, and gently slide it into the GBIC
interface slot until it clicks into place.
Note: GBIC transceivers are hot-swappable. You do not need to power
off the switch before installing or removing a transceiver.
