Slide the module back until the backplane connector is
inserted in the chassis backplane; the module's front panel
should be flush with the front of the chassis. Do not force
the module into the slot. Otherwise you can damage the
connectors.

Once the module is firmly seated and flush with the
chassis front panel, secure the module by tightening the
two captive screws. Be sure not to overtighten the captive
screws. If you use a screwdriver, the torque used to
tighten the screws must not exceed 2.3 inch pounds.

Installing MiniGBIC Connectors

Each OS6600-GNI-U2 uplink module supports up to two Mini
Gigabit Interface Converters (MiniGBICs). These MiniGBICs
are packaged separately and therefore are not factory-installed.
Mini Gigabit Interface Converter (MiniGBIC)
If you are using one or more OS6600-GNI-U2 modules to
uplink to the backbone or server, you must install the MiniG-
BIC(s) by following the steps below.
Anti-Static Warning. Before handling any components,
free yourself of static by wearing a grounding strap, or by
grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage
the MiniGBIC, as well as the switch and uplink module.
