2. Insert the GBIC module until its connector is firmly seated into the appropriate
port.
3. When firmly seated, lock the GBIC module in the slot by pushing the locking bar
to the left side of the GBIC. Do not force the locking bar; reseat if necessary.

2. Press the GBIC module until its connector is firmly seated.
All network cable connections are on the switch's front panel. All recommended
