Figure 5 GBIC Expansion Slots
The AT-9410GB Gigabit Ethernet Switch has two expansion slots on the
front panel, labeled GBIC1 and GBIC2. Each slot can accommodate one
optional GBIC module.
A GBIC module is a gigabit (1000Base) transceiver. Figure 6 shows an
example of a fiber optic GBIC module. You can use GBIC modules to
quickly and easily add additional Gigabit Ethernet ports to your switch.
